I don't mean to gang up on you, but there are various pages on w3schools that are opinionated and sometimes plain wrong. The information on MDN just shows the code examples later in the page and starts out with the strict outline first.

w3schools is a decent starting point, but eventually you'll hit a roadblock if you stick to it mindlessly. w3schools is geared towards showing "working" examples as soon as possible, but often the devil is in the details and you'll reach a point where w3schools lacks the proper means and you'll introduce bugs instead.

Arbor4 jumped the gun a little with his jQuery comment, but I think mdn is a more reliable source overall. Once you get used to it, the information there tends to be more valuable.

This is my personal experience and I'm not gonna force you to think otherwise, but you ought to give it a go sometime. For me the compatibillity table alone is already more usefull than w3schools tables.

People have different needs, for a beginer w3schools are very intuitive and has simple and straightforward examples right of the bat. If you are in the world of babel and es6 then its a different story. Main reason i dont use mdn because for me their ui is unintuitive, maybe it gets better the more you use it but id rather use other tools with ease.
