When first getting started with HTML, learning all the ins and outs of the attributes and definitions can be a bit overwhelming. Now rather than throwing in the towel, consider taking a look at this attribute primer instead.

Well, after taking a long break from writing anything on this blog, I’m back and better than ever. I’ll try to post more regularly from now on, with much better content. I hope you, my loyal readers, didn’t miss me too much while I was gone, but anyway, let’s get on with the good stuff.

One thing I’ve come to notice a lot of people believe is that in HTML, everything is a tag (or at least can be called a tag). This is most certainly not the case. The most recent offender I’ve seen, and the reason I decided to write this, is the author of Firefox, ALT Tags, and Tooltips, which, as you can see by the title, incorrectly refers to attributes as tags. The article itself is quite good, and I fully agree with its message about tooltips for alt attributes, it’s just the incorrect references to the attributes as tags that bugs me. This author is not the first, nor the last to make the mistake, but it is about time people learn to call things by their real names.
