I love things like this, but I find I have about 30 of these sorts of things bookmarked, and I never think to pull them up when I'm in need – I immediately go to Google and find something like the Mozilla ref @shpx mentioned. It's a real problem I wish there was a solution for. Other than of course having a better memory.

Reading the comments:

- nice brogramming; - not up to date; - not refering the spec (sorry this is important when you are in trouble); - well read @shpx comment he is right

Verdict: more signal less noise policiy says, don't click to the bait.

normally I put a goatse.cx link here or a rickroll

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element Same thing but guaranteed to be up to date and (more) complete. For example, htmlreference.io's page for doesn't mention the autocomplete attribute. MDN lists all its possible values. http://htmlreference.io/element/input/ https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/in...

In general this is pretty good. One mistake that it doesn't make is to use low contrast for everything. However, the code examples don't look very nice on my box due to the font which comes out as Nimbus Mono L. How about you link to an actual font? (I like Ubuntu Mono, though there are lots of other good programming fonts). Also with respect to code samples, would black text on a white background be a possibuility?

On the font issue: you're effectively saying "I don't like the default monospace font my browser is configured to use, please change your website to fix this" (since Nimbus Mono isn't in their CSS font family list). I feel you as a user have some responsibility in that case.

No, that's not true. I have just changed the monospace font on Firefox to Ubuntu Mono, and it is still showing as Nimbus Mono. This is the website doing this -- for example the change is reflected fine in HN.

> I feel you as a user have some responsibility in that case.

These days when I build websites I normally specify specific web fonts so that I know it won't default to something not good.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Tell me more about this Silicon Valley place where everything is magically free?

I'll have to defer to someone who actually makes that claim.

Decide for yourself, either use it or don't.
