HTML and CSS - help

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there is a website where I could learn HTML and CSS from begining to end. Meaning slicing and coding a template, tableless.

Thanks,

 

you can start by reading posts from this forum. You will find many useful informations here. You can also get some eBooks about. try searching the forum and... use google

 

Practice makes perfect, so start by finding a tutorial on google, and then attempting to go from there. As you won't learn all the tricks of the trade right off the bat.

 

I'd recomend installing firebug and then going to sites that you like and using it to figure out how they layed stuff out, should give you some good pointers. Then try building a test site, nothing teaches like sink or swim

 

Strange that nobody has yet to mention the World Wide Web Consortium Good luck, you'll need it

 

I know the basics and everything just need a bit help.

How do I make it so that I can test my sites on my computer without uploading it to the host?

I know I did that before but I dont remember how.

 

Use something like Dreamweaver?

Or if you're just using html/css, use relative paths, not direct paths.

For instance, use src="../style.css" instead of src="http://...", etc.

Then just open the .html file in your browser and it will display as it would on a web server. You will need to be on a server if using any php.

 

Ok thanks,

btw I do have dreamweaver, just dont know how to use it.

lol.

XAMPP web server for testing: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/

Good luck on your quest .

 

Thanks,

I will defiantly try that first one out.

 

You could easily create a test environment.

win32 based or linux based.

In either case you could install vmware and run a mini webserver for testing purposes only and then upload your files as needed.
