Depends on your experience. If you're a programmer and just suck at front end code, but are familiar with technical terms and jargon, head straight to w3.org and start learning from the specs themselves. If you aren't the above, then go to a site like HTML Dog . The best site for lists is Listamatic . Read the articles first, and if you have trouble understanding even after you've done some coding then go to either a forum or EFNET/FREENODE #css and ask your questions there. Many people are probably going to recommend W3Schools, but the site is outdated (and the site itself uses tables for layout), so I wouldn't go there. Also, you shouldn't say you're making a site "without tables", you just shouldn't use tables for layout. And this is probably the hundredth time this has been mentioned, but you SHOULD use tables, only you should use them for tabular data. Here's a site that EFNET/FREENODE #css mods link to very often, explaining why tables for layout is stupid.
Yeah, I figured W3Schools are outdated and that using tables are stupid. It causes longer page loads and lock ups. Anywayz, thanks for the info.
even if w3schools is outdated it still has the basic css knowledge. learning from a site that has no whatsoever basic wont teach much to a newcomer.
w3schools 100%, then after you learn the basics you can move on from that but its a great site and I still use it form time to time to check certain things out in my CSS (im still a noob).
for sure w3schools.com is the best place to start!it's easy and has most there is to know! doesn't mention anything about tableless design as far as i remember but after you learn the basics you can take a look as few tableless designs code and you will get it instantly. it's nothing hard just margins and paddings mainly!
I wen't toHTML Dog alot when learning both HTML and CSS, a great site. I also went to a site and downloaded a free sample layout to mess around with, and that's when I rly started to learn how to use CSS =) don't remember the name though.
yeah, I just bought a book from them called, "Designing without Tables." So, far I'm learning a lot. The thing is, I need to learn the basics (I'm getting overwhelmed with that book), so I guess I'll go to w3cschool and catch up on the basics first.
You can just ask for help on SitePoint - I'm a Mentor there, and there are plenty of others willing to help.
