Online Html/css/javascript Learning Reference Alternative To W3schools?

From my time on SO I've found w3schools may not be the best place to send people as an html/web programming reference. I started using them a loooong time ago and have been sendin

Solution 1:

W3Fools - A W3Schools Intervention also promotes the following "more reputable sources":

Opera Web Standards Curriculum covers the basics of web standards-based design in HTML and CSS. Google's HTML, CSS, and Javascript from the Ground Up presents the basics of web development with video tutorials presented by Google's expert web developers. SitePoint is a pretty good reference for HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Their documentation always mentions feature support across different browsers, and describes known browser bugs. The W3C, itself, has a wiki-based general Learn page as well as an HTML element reference. The MDN (Mozilla's Developer Network) takes over at intermediate CSS and covers JavaScript better than anyone. The MDN is also a wiki (little known fact), which means we, as knowledgeable web developers, can add or change information so the pages are as effective and comprehensive as possible.

Solution 2:

There is the W3C's Web Education Community Group Wiki, on standards that are maintained by them. It provides quite some useful information on e.g. HTML and CSS, and they link to appropriate standards.

See for example this page on the textarea element

EDIT: I just realize this was already mentioned as 'general Learn page' from the W3Fools page, but it might still be useful to name this reference.
