Ok, well recently i realized that i am not as skilled in HTML (such as building website layouts) as i want to be, with tables etc... and so i was thinking about going through many many many many many many sites and just touching up on my HTML and see if i can code my own website template before starting to learn PHP because that is what i want to do.
so, i am asking all of you experianced people on trap17 what websites did you use to learn your HTML skills, yees i know i could go to google and type in learn html or somthing along the lines of that, but i want to know what websites that you guys and gals here on trap17 think are good so i can get the same experiance that everyone else did.
so please post where you learned your HTML, and if you know how to code templates where you learned how to do it.
wow if you really want to know, I learned my basics on neopets.com (****, I used to play it). But the guide they have is really basic, I just built on that and found out new tags through experimenting. And by basic I mean img tags, backgorund color, and simple tables. Probably no help to you but hey thought i'd put it.
Notice from BuffaloHELP:
You will not place any expletive slangs again in our forum.
I learned it through an excellent book, and then basically taught myself. I really recommend w3schools.com, that is one of the best resources for web development ever!
Agreed on the w3schools link. Lose the Table-based design concept. Start to learn XHTML and css2. Although it sounds like a daunting task, it really isn't any more difficult to learn. It will be harder to un-learn tables.
A good book for css and xhtml is :
Intergrated HTML and CSS by Virginia DeBolt, pulbished by SYBEX
C/w disk and teaches web standard designing and coding. Great resource to have with you.
When I first started out learning HTML and what not I found a great website. http://yourhtmlsource.com It steps you through all the basics for your first site or just teaches you certain things. It helped me out a lot. I also have used W3 Schools but not for HTML but it also has great tutorials. I recommend looking through those sites to see what you find.
I started learning them from books I borrowed from the library, and then I came on the web and search for tutorial, and I found w3schools.com which they mentioned, its really a great site for beginners! And then I enrolled into my current course and studied html too which put my html skill to the test and they now teaches the standard XHTML tags which are very hard to conform to... But nevertheless, I've gotten myself distinction from that particular html modules, which I easily pass! But, that was thanks to w3schools tutorial which really simplified things... Whenever I have a doubt about html stuff, that's the first site I'll turn to, and not even my lecturer I will turn to...
I tought my self. But the easiest way i think to learn html is to just go to any website that you like and save the web page and then just experement on that then you can create your own. Hope that helps.
I actually learnt HTML out of my own accord, so I can't really give you any advice of my own. However I can tell you that many of my friends recommend funky-chickens.com. It's a HTML-help website that covers all the basics of HTML, plus some basic JavaScript, and has a few resources too. It's a little outdated, but all the tricks still work.
However, I should note that the website uses a pink and blue theme (pink for borders and underlines, blue for text, white background), so it may be a bit bright for some.
I actually started experimenting with HTML (and a little Javascript) in 2000 when I first got my webTV set up... just changing prewritten scripts slightly... in 2001 when I first got my computer, I went out and bought HTML for Dummies: Quick Guide. I read that book front to back and well, that's how I got started. But I haven't really written anything from scratch in a while, with all the "what you see is what you get" editors, I've gotten rusty, not to mention some things have changed since then, such as CSS, which has caused much of the HTML I learned to become depricated. In other words, I'm in a similar boat as you, I need to brush up and update myself a bit.
As for websites I'd recommend Spoono ( http://www.spoono.com ) which has some neat CSS layout tutorials (Go to programming, a submenu appears, click on CSS) as well as graphic tutorials, and for something a bit simpler, try HTML Help ( http://www.htmlhelp.com/ ) is another good place to look up for references and such.
Anywho, good luck, and I hope this helps! I had a bunch of other REALLY GOOD websites book marked on my computer. Unfortunatly, I'm not on either of my computers right now so I can't seem to remember them. If I come across them again, I'll be sure to share.
i learned basic html in school..we had computer as subject in our course since class 1. when we reached in class 8 html was included in it. though it was just basic during that time but later we learned through extra classes since most of us were interested
lol, my school has HTML classes, but the standards they have for this class is set so low it is almost pitiful! So i just decided to learn on my own and i have, i'm pretty much done going over what i've learned before, and learning some new things, the next thing to come along is DIV's so i can get off of the table coding and go onto the DIV coding *layout things*

I never made any conscious decision to learn (X)HTML, I started out making sites in Dreamweaver, but when I learnt CSS, I found that writing the code in a text editor was faster than using Dreamweaver, so I started using XHTML and when I couldn't remember what a tag was, I looked it up in Dreamweaver or a w3schools.
I tend to find that studying/learning something by using a tutorial sucks compared to having something you want to do (i.e write a CMS, or design a website template). You don't get bored as fast, and you end up with something you will actually use.
lol, from the looks of it, that site is more of a place to learn how to get around websites (like looking at the source) and i am going through it right now and reading it, and I'm not really learning much, but it is touching me up on the basics of HTML.. pretty good thanks.. tis' a good site for a really basic beginner to making website. and i shall use it to touch up on my HTML

I was often frustrated at how, despite there being thousands of ASCII "special characters" such as
&8659; , websites that claimed to list them all only listed the first 256. To combat this issue,
I have created a table which lists the first 10,001 - from � to &10000; I am sure
there are many more but it is simply not feasible to create a table with many more rows as viewing
it would put terrific strain on the browser.! You can download the file in two forms. One uses
PHP to dynamically create the table (1KB), the other has it ready-made in pure HT....

I can't figure out why this horizontal list isnt working. Underneath my banner is supposed to

My question is, why would anyone use the CODE tag when you can use the PRE tag? 1. The PRE tag
recognises white space, the CODE tag does not. 2. The CODE tag requires that you escape some
chars, the PRE tag does not. I cannot see anything that the CODE tag achieves that is special apart
from sounding as though it is perfect for displaying code which IMO it is not. Thanks. ....

than write it down from scratch, and I can still fix the little issues that dw generates into the

Right now I have a site, which I've made XHTML 1.0 Strict. I am sending it as
application/xhtml+xml to browsers that say they can handle it, and as text/html to all other
browsers. Anyway, I started thinking that I'd much rather send proper HTML 4.01 to browsers that
don't understand XHTML instead of XHTML pretending to be HTML 4.01. It's not really a
problem with IE, because it is made to handle badly written sites, but who knows, some browser that
can handle HTML, but not XHTML, may be (correctly) parsing CODE <p> Hello <br />
