love that site! - inactive, on 07/08/2009, -0/+7No you just suck.
- FredFredrickson, on 07/08/2009, -0/+6Yeah, that's actually one of the best sites I've found. I love their "live" code editor, that shows you how to achieve effects, and then lets you try it yourself.
- failtrain, on 07/09/2009, -0/+6CSS for layouts. Tables for data.
Tables are perfectly acceptable in modern designs but they have a long history of being used incorrectly. Unfortunately the reverse is now also true. I'm tired of finding websites that have dozens of lines of css and divs trying to make a table when they should just have used a table (and saved half an hour of typing, and made it accessible). Don't use CSS to make a table. You can still use CSS to style the th, tr, td, etc, however you want.
Making a multi column and row layout? Use CSS.
Making a train timetable? Use a table. - MtheoryX, on 07/09/2009, -0/+5Ain't it also amazing that hundreds of thousands of web developers are doing just ***** fine with CSS instead of Flash and tables?
Yet, you have issues. Wonder what's more likely... Everyone else is wrong... or you just don't know what you're doing? - mac888, on 07/08/2009, -3/+8i need a tutorial on how to use the tutorial
- ell0bo, on 07/09/2009, -0/+4Well... you can do columns and then just set a standard height for all of the divs inside the 'table', but really... just use a damn table if what you want is a table!
- MtheoryX, on 07/09/2009, -0/+3"if you want objects to align side by side, you'll either use tables or you'll be over-budget on every project until you go broke"
You're doing it wrong. Pick a different line of work.
"...block-level elements are 100% width by default (which is asinine)."
Yes, 23.5% would make MUCH more sense. /s - failtrain, on 07/09/2009, -0/+3I don't want to sound rude.... But perhaps creating websites is not for you?

- bryanfuller, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1Nice site for the young learners. I also used some of these site to do my first project which was and online printing and sticker printing site look what a great site for young designer http://www.printingblue.co.uk/bumper-stickers.asp I design this site without the help of any other designer.
- a2z22a, on 07/10/2009, -0/+1Just going to add to this saying if you actually properly know css (as in, didn't study it for 10 mins and expect to be able to code everything ever) you can knock out layouts very quickly. Much easier to manage if you need to change crap too.

26 Websites with Tutorials to Start in Website Design? no? - inactive, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1Nice collection of sites.
I've been using the Opera classroom, myself: It contains 50 hours of university level material, and it gave a me a much more comprehensive understanding of web design than the other sites I'd seen:
http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/1-introduction- ... - failtrain, on 07/09/2009, -1/+2What's a tutorial?
- poopin, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1I have heard this before. I want to learn how to do tables with CSS/XHTML. Just to learn. It seems there are some divisions on this issue. Some say Tables suck and others say CSS suck for aligning. Both hurl insults at the other. Whatever. I would like to learn to do both.
- chriss123, on 07/09/2009, -0/+0nice resource and good trick
thanks - FileFanatic, on 07/09/2009, -1/+1i stick with smashingmagazine.com - the ultimate!!!
- cammy21, on 07/10/2009, -0/+0thanks bryan
- imagesplace, on 07/15/2009, -0/+0Totally agree, w3school is the best for newbies.
http://www.phpdirsubmit.com - ryanmartindesig, on 07/10/2009, -0/+0w3schools is a really good resource, the design however looks like a parked site.
- seohawk, on 07/12/2009, -0/+0This tutorials will help me with improving my new header on my travel blog www.konnerud.net
Thank you so much for this. Also, I`m going to subscribe your blog ;))
- SeoHawk :) - poopin, on 07/09/2009, -1/+0Anyone know of good and thorough tutorial to learn to do tables with just CSS/XHTML? I'd rather ask you guys then try to filter through all those sites listed. You guys know your ***** better.
- yor1001, on 07/09/2009, -3/+2CSS is still way too much trouble than it's ought to be.
- cubicledrone, on 07/09/2009, -3/+0Hundreds of thousands of web developers are using pre-packaged themes or off-the-rack style sheets that someone had to squat over a toilet with a towel in their mouth for six weeks to debug.
I don't have any issues. If I need three columns, I create a three column table and ship the *****. We work for a living around here. I don't have time for esoteric ***** like CSS. - cubicledrone, on 07/09/2009, -3/+0Yes, a 200-pixel wide logo should have 1000 pixels of horizontal invisible YOU AINT PUTTING NO WEB PAGE HEAH pasted to it because that makes even more sense.
CSS is a ***** train wreck. At least Flash and tables work. isn't it funny how someone can accomplish ANY layout using a table in seconds but using CSS ALWAYS requires an hour of "does this work? nope. How about this? nope. This? nope."
*****. - cubicledrone, on 07/08/2009, -10/+2Realize that CSS doesn't work, and that if you want objects to align side by side, you'll either use tables or you'll be over-budget on every project until you go broke.
The "standards geniuses" will go on and on about how CSS is great. What they don't tell you about is the two hours they spent trying to get two IMG elements and a UL to display side by side in the site header before giving up and using a table because the client refused to postpone delivery for a fifth time. Yeah, even if they had all the tutorials and the book and all that other *****.
Bottom line: CSS doesn't work. It's a great idea, but it takes veteran C programmers (people who know how to think and program logically) a year to learn that block-level elements are 100% width by default (which is asinine). That is the main reason that NO style sheet that arranges anything side-by-side works on the first try. So they end up using tables, and if you want the ***** thing to ship on time, so will you. Have a nice day. - jeffrycaudill, on 07/08/2009, -12/+0Nice collection of helpful sites. Thanks!
