[Scoby007]

Hi Guys,

I am interested in starting to learn CSS I can work with HTMl but would like to introduce some CSS into my designing, any suggestions on simple straight forward resourses that I could look into which are simple to follow

I actually learned CSS through Dreamweaver. It's a great way to learn all the basics of CSS because as Dreamweaver is doing lots of the coding behind the scenes, it is using CSS for most of everything (in Dreamweaver 8/CS3). Once you lay some things out, you can go directly to your code and see exactly how CSS is working to render certain things. This is just how I eventually learned and starting using CSS more, but there is countless other ways. Including doing some free online tutorials:

This site looks pretty decent in covering all the basics and getting you up to speed how to include CSS into your HTML.

There are lots of tutorials on line. google and you will find a ton. I cannot remember the one I used either. It had a program for css, I believe CSSMaster, they wanted to sell, but also had lots of raw tutorials that taught me lots in the beginning. From there I just hunt around when I am lost on something using google and the term I am needing help with.

I think Dreamweaver is a good way to learn: you do it while you look at the code and see how CSS works. Another posibility is to have a look at the W3C CSS guides in http://www.w3.org or at W3Schools. I heared something about CSS3! Don't worry, information at theese sites is very updated.

I learnt a lot from this book, it also covers other topics, i found it to be a great way to start.

"Beginning Web Programming with HTML, XHTML, and CSS"
http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/W.....70781.html
You can see the contents in the link above.

Anyway CSS is not that difficult to learn, what i think it's difficult is to get the same result in all browsers, so you could go for tutotials as well

one that i liked a lot

Lyth is right. Learning CSS by doing is the best option. All you need is a starting point. When you know the base of CSS, just start using it for your site. When you come across a problem - just do a google search and you're likely to quickly come across the solution.

Also, if you're oing for a tableless layout - be sure to test it in all the browsers you would like your site to work in, as there are many incompatibilities between them.

CSS Came easy for me. I got a book that was out of date and had non-working codes and I played around with it until it worked. That was about a week ago. CSS Kicks ***!

I mainly learned CSS by looking at other sites. Same with HTML, although dreamweaver helped as well with both
