w3schools is a good resource for learning web related stuff such as html,javaScript xml etc. when you are starting.

I'd have to agree. It offers comprehensive examples, attribute lists, live examples that you can play around with, etc.
And since it's all on W3Schools, you know everything you learn is 100% XHTML-Strict. Same with the CSS tutorials.

Uh, no. See http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_applet.asp for just one of /many/ things on W3schools that it is not XHTML Strict.

But they explicitly note that it's not strict. Anything that's not stated to be non-strict or obsolete is strict.

First of all, if you learn Javascript, also learn jQuery. It will save you a lot of trouble.
For learning jQuery, the book to get is jQuery In Action
For learning Javascript in general, there are several good books, but one of the best (IMHO) is Javascript, the definitive guide.
For learning (cross-browser) CSS, you can't go wrong with CSS Mastery

Do you already have experience on programming? HTML+CSS are essential but doesn't really count as programming. If web development is what you are interested in you should probably look into PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby or Python.
If you are just starting programming PHP might be the easiest to get started with. PHP has bad reputation, because it's often associated with bad practices, but if you take time learning basics of object-oriented programming and good practices it can be a good starting point.

The Mozilla Developer Centre is the first place I go when I need to look something up. I mainly use it for looking up JavaScript functions/methods, and for this, I have found it much more comprehensive than W3Schools.
SitePoint's JavaScript reference looks promising, but as of writing, it only covers the DOM.
