Please . . .

Can anyone recommend any comprehensive, online tutorials on how to make a basic, one-column, three-div CSS Web site?

I want to learn correctly.You might want to check out:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.glish.com/css/">http://www.glish.com/css/</a><!-- m -->
and the links leading from there :)

I'm not sure what you mean with a 1 column 3 div site though.... . . the simplest, most basic Web site using DIVs so I can learn the basics of tableless CSS layout.

I've got much of the basics down (I think) but I'm getting stumped on several points.

One of the most frustrating points is font sizing. I understand that I should not use px's when defining font-size and the truth is, I would like my readers to be able to resize via their browsers.

But I don't understand that, if I'm now using divs to hold my content, how to make my page expand when/if a reader enlargens font size through his or her browser (especially if they use Firefox which can keep enlargening the font size)? After enlargening the font size two steps in FF, the text breaks, hides left and right, etc.

Is this what liquid design means, that the page will keep expanding to accommodate enlargened font size? Can you teach me how to do this?

I've got other questions as well. The thing is, I want to learn how to use CSS to build tableless sites properly. It's a lot of effort to wean myself off of tabled, fixed layouts. I don't want to learn how to use tableless design and discovered I've got it all wrong.
