LOL, i just read your dumb stack overflow posts. They are dumb because it really makes no difference. Leaving off the spec is just a bad practice and getting butt hurt because of a "Tip" (not a declarative rule mind you) may not be correct (although I bet if you actually check browser behavior, w3 is probably correct - i'm not about to check 20+ browsers to find out). In the second post https://stackoverflow.com/a/52355253/1709587 https://stackoverflow.com/a/52355253/1709587, W3Schools gave you the information litterally from teh HTML4 spec. It's hardly W3's fault that it wasn't followed as designd. This is the type of pedantic nit-picking bullshit i'm talking about. And on your third link, I checked the W3Schools page and it literally says "Note: Only Firefox supports colspan="0",..." Contrary to what is in your StackOverlflow post, I assume you only read the Attribute Values and not the whole page. Blaming W3Schools for your lack of reading comprehension is shameful. I should probably go back to the first two questions and see what else you just didn't read, but were quick to blame they didn't have the "right answer". People just need to learn to read, imho.

If that tip had been true, it would mean I'd been writing HTML that only worked in a subset of browsers the whole time, and I would've needed to go over all HTML forms I'd ever written and correct them to ensure browser compatibility, and educate my colleagues who also left off the attribute. Are you suggesting that I should read something like that, that if true would mean that all the forms I've written are broken, and just ignore it? Or blindly trust it, and demand that my colleagues change their code style on the basis of an unsubstantiated "tip"? What was I meant to do other than dig deeper to try to find out the truth? > W3Schools gave you the information litterally from teh HTML4 spec Yes. Which has been obsolete for years, and yet their page isn't updated. > I checked the W3Schools page and it literally says "Note: Only Firefox supports colspan="0",..." Contrary to what is in your StackOverlflow post I literally quote the same passage in my post and note, explicitly, that it is untrue. Firefox's behaviour is just like all the other browsers. Also, a moment ago you were berating me for taking an aside seriously. Now you're also berating for not scrutinising every aside for caveats that contradict the main documentation? It's unclear that there's any approach to reading W3Schools that will satisfy you, other than magically divining the truth from their docs even when what they write is wrong. > People just need to learn to read Evidently.
