You should check these Tutorials, It includes everything net[.]tutsplus[.]com/sessions/web-design-from-scratch/ Also the site is a Must to check daily. They posts lots of New stuff. Let me know if this is helpful.
There's many things you can do to make your websites work across multiple browsers. Firstly making sure that your doctype is declared correctly. See here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_doctype.asp Secondly you should make sure you're CSS is coded properly e.g. use % instead of px for your main wrapper. Alternatively you could set the max-width to 1000px. See here for usage: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_dim_max-width.asp Lastly, to make your website work across multiple browsers and platforms in one single-handed coding style, use a CSS framework. I've said a few times that Foundation works fantastically well. The only issue I had with it was that it wasn't very 'image friendly'. By image friendly, I mean that it doesn't crop images it just makes them smaller. This is bad because you are coding for mobile and tablet devices, huge images would be a strain on the devices data. You'll find Foundation CSS here: http://foundation.zurb.com/ Test it out, make the window smaller on the Foundation website and stretch it or make it smaller and notice how the content fits all of those different resolutions. Essentially you really need to learn CSS properly, W3 schools are great to get started with, but Google is great too! Lots of different articles, tutorials, examples on coding in compatibility. Good luck!
thanks aslam bro for replying. this is a very basic stuff bro. i need advance technique. btw thanks for telling me
I think you got me. this is what i need to be focused on(the CSS part). As i want to code full website myself i am avoiding using any framework. very useful reply. Thankyou Scottpool2003

I kind of like Lynda tutorials. They have several courses on web design. Maybe you could check them out and see if there is a course that covers all the subjects you are interested in. I know they have a membership fee but I think it may be a site to look at if you are really hungry to learn.
