And additionally, use http://validator.w3c.org/ to validate
your web pages, and re-edit them until they pass without
errors.

If everyone did that, we would have a _lot_ less problems
on the web ...

Og by the way, I've found http://www.htmlhelp.com/ to be
very helpful as a reference on HTML and style sheets.  In
particular, http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/alist.html
contains a list of all HTML tags, each of them with
comprehensive explanations, including which things are
widely supported by browsers and which are not, potential
problems, links to the actual DTD specification etc.

There's also "selfhtml", but I don't like it, I don't know
why.  Must be a matter of taste.  YMMV.

Just my 0.02 Euro.

Regards
   Oliver
