In what ever you do... especially JavaScript learning. Do not use W3Schools...my humble advice!.

badthinds.

I totally disagree with you. I learnt html, css, javascript, jquery, php and mysql from w3school and I don't regret it.

for all beginners of any programming languages who is thinking of going into programming fully. All online tutorials links giving to you on this site are good but not excellent. If you want to go into programming , you need good books written by experts and updated regurlarly. All www.tizag.com, www.tutorialspoint.com are good but you can't achieve much with them. to get free ebooks you can go to www.it-ebooks.info and download most ebooks for free.

For all html, RoR, php, phyton and any web programming language, you can visit www.sitepoint.com forum and ask questions on topics you don't understand and there are other programmers waiting to help you out. You can also visit www.stackoverflow.com to ask any question related to any issue including programming.

these are meant for Java, php, c, js, and python programmers including html and css.
Must get books for you beginners.
Java.
Murach's java programming.
thinking in java. 4th edition.
Effective java(professioner or expert).

Php.
Murach's php and mysql
larry ullman's books(great writer and lovely writer).
David power's php solutions.

Phython.
Learn phython the hard way.

Html.
Html5 and css3 by Brian P Hogan.
essential guide to html5 and css3
styling in css3

c/c++
c programming language by Brian kerninghan and dennis ritchie

javascript.
Eloquent javascript and
you don't know js series by kyle simpson (6books in total).




Great post .. I agree tutorials won't teach a language properly, a well-written and up to date book is the best way of learning IMHO, and for Java I recommend :

Java: a beginner's guide by Herbert Schildt

here is my javascript cgpa calculator.

http://cgpa.emmysweb.com


also, with the help of the same w3schools in understanding php I was able to build a WordPress theme with all necessary function in place http://emmysweb.com


with their help I was able to create beautiful user interface and animations with javascript/jquery and css3 http://emmysweb.ml


so what reasons have u got to discourage others from learning with w3schools? they even have an awesome tryItYourself editor

i hav been a web-dev for years so trust me when i say W3cschools is too soft core,there's just too much they left out of their tutorials, to me.its best for reference (and i still use it for that) but you'll need better tutorials to get the full gist of many web-dev languages u say u built a Cgpa calculator, bro thats basic stuff resarch into writing say a natural language parser in JS then you'll see w3c has only taught you the rudiments and at best let you know the syntax

maybe you didn't specify the correct file path. Make sure you copy all your image resources to your workspace- notepad++ or any other you created as your workspace

open the folder which contains the iiimage.Drag the image and drop it in ur browser.
Then copy the image address on your browser's address bar and paste it into the src="".

if this works, then the problem is the path specified.

You are welcome.
But that's not how it's done during development though. You should put your files in one main folder and use relative URL instead. That "file://" or "http://" in most cases are referred to as absolute URL .
