I'm sure I can find this information on the net...but I really dont feel like going through the hassle of trying to find my information.
I'm having trouble understanding what replaces the <table> tag in CSS. Like...I know I can use <div> but I'm having trouble getting the hand of it!
Also, what would be able to replace the <br> tag? I think theres a better way to make a break, is there not?
No rush, but help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.i dont quite get your question?!

and i dunno what you would want to replace a <br> with?!I know that in Dreamweaver the only way to replace a <br> tag is with; <p> </p>. I just dont know if its a good Idea. See, I'm new to the whole CSS thing, but I got the basic hand of it. Do you know of any other tutorials I would be able to use?
Thanks for your help, too
well first of, use a text editor not dreamweaver 
i use notepad++ (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/about.php">http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/about.php</a><!-- m -->)
that gives you much more controll over what you are doing
well you dont usualy need <br> your right its better to split your text up into paragraphs <p> with headers <h1> - <h3>
well there are tones of tutorials on everything if you would care to be a bit more precise, i might be able to find you some good ones...
that one i posted at the top got me started on CSS and i thougth it was very good!I used notepad for the longest time...but oince I started using dreamweaver I realized that the visual aspect that Dreamweaver gives me is pretty helpful. But I will take your advice and try using Notepad again. I'll also try to think of some specificatyions for you, I know I had written them down for myself..I just cant seem to find them...hmm...
Anyways, thanks again.Originally posted by sheepo-designs

no problemoThe most important thing one can remember when making a webpage on the internet, is probably that a webpage's DATA and how a webpage LOOK, are two entirely different things. The goal of HTML 4.01 is to create a webpage that any type of browser can utilize, including those for the disabled, and for a myriad of different programs on the net, also including handheld devices and graphical PC browsers like Mozilla, Opera, and Internet Explorer.
When you write your HTML, forget about how it will all look. Don't make the visual appearance of your page as much of a concern in the first step. Markup all of your data semantically, which means meaningfully. Is it a top-level heading? Forget what size you want it, use an h1 element. Paragraph of text? Use a <p> element. Navigation menu? An unordered list is probably most appropriate. Got an acronym like SCUBA or an abbreviation like IRL or WYSIWYG? Mark it up. Mark it up as meaningfully as you can.
Next, you can include some additional structural markup. You can use the DIV element, but try and use it as little as possible. Only where you need it. Make good use of the ID and CLASS attributes as well. Remember, try to minimize the markup you use, all browser defaults in a compliant browser can be overridden in CSS.
Now you get to the visual aspect of it all. Come up with your design and what have you, and get to coding your CSS. You'll probably make good use of properties like float (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#propdef-float">http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#propdef-float</a><!-- m -->) and you'll probably want to reference the CSS 2.1 Specification (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/">http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/</a><!-- m -->), which can correctly answer many questions. And of course, these here forums for specific issues!Wow..
Thanks a lot!!!!!
