well at first i started messin with the internet i was using msn groups. so there was no need to learn html. then my isp started hosting websites so i kinda learned it through msn groups and developed it through random websites... i know a lot now and i sometimes use dreamweaver mx or so... lately i have just been codin it straight through notepad though. it'll probably change soon though as i get lazy-er, gonna dust off the ol' dreamweaver rolleyes.gif

I learned it from a book written about basic HTML. I don't remember the name, but it was a very good book. Eventually, after learning all that that could teach me, I surfed the net, looking for source codes and tutorials.

when you start making websites,
you'll learn it.
i first made my website with www.mycu2.nl
where you needed html.
so you learn it slowly but good.

You can either go on yahoo and search for html tutorial & script websites, or you could just go to your local bookstore (barnes & nobles) and buy books about it. It's cheap and very easy to understand.

Reminds me of Einstein's quote that says you should explain things to your grandmother if she fails to understand that then that means you didn't get the thing as well. biggrin.gif Sometimes teaching others is nice way of teaching yourself. Because people ask so many questions and we find answers to them and that way we learn a lot from it.

I used a head first html book that was really interesting and got me to grasp it in a very exciting way!

i then kinda ditched it since i just wanted to use it as a stepping stone, so now i'm on php, mysql which even more fun but i still work with html tags smile.gif

I learnt it by:

a) Visiting W3Schools, they are one of the best ways to learn HTML.
cool.gif Looking at Source Code of websites, trying to get ideas on how to do what

The best way to learn is to get the basics downpat, and then just experiment with HTML and CSS, if you do want to learn HTML I recommend learning CSS as well.

    an HTML tag (i.e. not PHP or any other scripts) so the header just gets inserted right after the
    opening tag. I'm thinking that possibly it uses the tag, but really I don't have much of
