Hey,
I was going to learn Visual Basics but then I though, why am I moving on when I haven't even learnt HTML properly. I know basics of HTML and can edit and do what I need ect. but I cannot code html. I'm looking for a good HTML book to learn from and was wondering if anybody recommends any.

NOTE: If you give me a link to a online tutorial (eg. w3schools) I'll give -rep as I want a BOOK!

This series of books is very handy, I bought php and vb versions. It's best to use it with W3 schools and other examples that will go in more detail.

Basics of HTML require you to code, so if you dont know the basics; what the hell are you coding :S?

There are a few online ebooks you could read. Use google ;) :)

Well I don't know the advansted basics I only know the basic basics.

I design a template and then I have no idea what to do because I don't exactly know what to search on google ect.

I dunno if it is the same in Western Australia, but try taking Multimedia in school.. I did that in Melbourne and i got taught basic html/css stuff (DIVs)..

It actually helped (i knew how to make websites already)

Youtube has some really good tutorials, there is no need to go spending loads of money when you can see it done in action!

Google, youtube, ect... they wont help; well maybe a little...

But as someone stated above, "Practice makes perfect".. so what do you do? PRACTICE :)

HTML/CSS is easy!

Example:

In the HTML file:

<div id="div1" class="class1"></div>

In the CSS file:

#div1 { width: 100%; height: 500px; }
.class1 { font: tahoma; font-size: 13px; color: #000000; }

Thats really basic... look at some pre-coded layouts or look for tutorials on this forum.

Lew.
