Go get a book. One of the best out there is by a company called O'Reilly. It is called Web design in a Nutshell. There is a link to it here.<br />

I have purchased many books over the years and this covers every aspect of HTML 4.01 and CSS you will ever need to know. From all you need to know about graphics and media types, to the code it self, CSS, what works and what doesn't, what your site looks like on a mac compared to a pc and at different resolutions to handy referances like how colours work.<br />
<br />
It is written at a level where a beginner can understand it and an expert still refers to it.<br />
<br />
No web site could ever cover the wealth of information this book covers. It is about $30 dollars in the states, ?0 in the UK. Most good book stores will have it or can order it. Have a look at it before you buy it. Just dont expect pretty pictures, this book is for those who want to learn and not be wowed.<br />
<br />
I promise you, you wont regret it.<br />

If you can learn on-line... fair enough. But that book I mentioned, even you should get it.<!--content-->There's more tutorials online than you can shake a stick at. There are as many different ways to teach a subject as there are instructors.<br />
W3Schools is about as good as it gets, but nothing beats a good hardcopy reference or two that allows you to flip through to find some info, and also compare a couple of different techniques.<br />
And reference books are also really good bedtime reading
<!--content-->i chexcked out the website it had some good info on it but i am probably going to buy the book because im hardly on the web.<!--content-->I'm just adding my two cents about htmlgoodies.com<br />
<br />
I have found his explanations helpful, though one gets tired of the good old boy humor. <br />
<br />
I've used his html stuff a lot, and when I wanted to learn javascript bought his book javascript goodies. It's good in that he does provide answers and walks thru the pieces of the script one by one. I've seen comments from others on other websites though, about his javascipt coding, that he is not always correct on syntax, lax on semicolons, etc. I don't know enough to judge whether or not that's true.<!--content-->
