    Hi guys,

    I code PHP and know HTML. My level is intermediat to advance.

    Problem is that I do not have clear knowledge on creating a beautiful site with CSS supported. So wonder if u know any good books u suggested?

    I could basically copy and pasted CSS and HTML together but i really like to know more how to code it properly.

    Or HTML Utopia from SitePoint.

    Bear in mind however, that I'm far ahead of the pack when it comes to coding with HTML and CSS, so what works for me may not work for others (at least until I get my thoughts on paper and get them published).

    I meant www.sitepoint.com/books/css2 :)

    Oh, you meant my skill level. I use a technique called minimal markup (and by minimal I do mean less is more - less code than you'll see other HTML/CSS coders use, sometimes upwards of 50% less) which follows the proper source code order (header, menu, content, sidebars, footer) and a combination of floats and negative margins instead of absolute positioning and hacks for 20 different browsers.
