The errors sounded so rediculous. I didn't know that you can't use the <br /> tag. It said there is no such thing as the "bgcolor" attribute of the <body> tag. It said there is no "name" attribute of the <a> tag. These sound so rediculous.
It is because W3C is starting to get rid of html attributes and go to using CSS. Of course CSS does make everything more organized and easier to use and can do anything you can do with the attributes. For example your to do your background color in css would be done like this in between the headers tag:
Code:
<style type="text/css">
body {background-color:insert color here;}
</style>
My website (if it ever gets finished) will entirely be coded with CSS and just a bunch of span tags.

For example, your title should be enclosed in <h1> and your paragraphs should be enclosed in <p> and your <input>s should be labeled...
Isn't there a reason for this though?? I read about this and it is relatively new. I just can't remember the reason though. Can you tell me why?
