HTML, XHTML, CSS and JAVA debugging and practice tests/examples

Combat squirrel · 12 Jul 2010 at 12:54

As title, is there a good place that gives online tests and examples, iv been to w3c school and theres some good knowledge tests there, but id like some worked examples for debugging some code etc, i want to practice.

There is no debugging of xHTML as such, and by "JAVA" do you actually mean Java, or Javascript?

Both Java and Javascript, I guess I mean 'debugging' of HTML in terms of making a HTML page work/display properly if there is an error in code.

First lesson to learn, in that case, is that Javascript and Java have nothing to do with each other.

Well yes I know that much

but I still want to learn BOTH

Basically I did it years ago and want to relearn it, I know bits of everything, but want some worked examples to enable me to 'revise' how to go through code again and debug, write and change it again.

Well, when it comes to 'debugging' XHTML, there are three main tools. This, this and this.

Seriously. That's about it.

Debugging javascript, i use firebug for firefox. CSS and debugging ie 5/6/7/8/infinity. Well for that you basically just have to smash your head against a wall and type 'zoom: 1;'

Thats cool thanks for that, but im more after a website that offers excercises and tasks for one to learn, for example like the w3c school exam, but with lines of code to look at it. I.e. here is this code:

<img src="xyz">image here etc etc

find the code error and hit 'ok' to see if you have passed this question......... etc but obviously more complex and challenging, I need to get the brain cells working again

<img> should alway have alt="Image description/image title" and should be closed.

<img src="xyz" alt="image of xyz" />

*sigh, yes yes indeed, thanks, HOWEVER that was JUST A ROUGH EXAMPLE of what sort of thing im after, I dont need specific help on anything, i just want some guides and tutorials

Umm, no offence, but isn't what your asking for like... books? You know, publications written by authors that teach you stuff?

Combat squirrel · 12 Jul 2010 at 18:19

Yeah got those, just want something totally random and not stuff like a CD attachment to a learn stuff book, I want fresh previously unseen stuff - anyone have any XHTML, CSS, Javascript OR Java code they want looking at ?

UncleRuckus · 12 Jul 2010 at 21:44

I see what you are getting at, why not set yourself a task with certain goals, if you can't do them look it up or ask here for help?

A suggestion for you for a mini project: make a quiz game about whatever and when the user finishes the quiz tally up the score and tell the user the stats on how well they have done.

And code a highscore board.
