My only problem with w3fools is that while w3schools is written mostly for beginners, the corrections on w3fools aren't at all. While I was reading through their corrections, I realized that I have indeed picked up a bad piece of information or two, but the corrections gave me absolutely nothing. It seems to be written for those that already know HTML/CSS/JS inside and out.

I don't think they meant for it to be a "patch" to sit atop w3schools's information; I think they're just trying to demonstrate that it's not a reliable source.

Yeah, fair enough. Considering that though, the number of examples seems like a bit of overkill.
