I only know HTML

Sadly, I only know HTML.

I learned it back in grade 6 because making websites became a huge hobby/interest on free hosts like Angelfire and such.

Now, it seems HTML is just crap and CSS/XHTML is much more used.

My question is, how and where can I learn CSS/XHTML?

Coming from someone who is familar with HTML and slicing/coding templates in Photoshop, what would be the best way to learn CSS/XHTML? Where should I start?

I forgot to mention, how do you get from Photoshop to CSS/XHTML? Photoshop to HTML is pretty much straightforward but whats the deal with CSS/XHTML?

Thanks in advance for all help.

oo, html. kinky.

for xhtml/css basics you want http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/default.asp and http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

Which one should I attempt to learn first of the two?

you should probably start with xhtml, as you'll pick it up in about 10min. it's essentially html with some basic modifications eg everything has to be lowercase, and all tags have ending tags, eg
except there's a contracted version of that that most people use
the only other major difference I know about is they've gotten rid of some of the most painfully useless tags like <blink> and <marquee>

Even <img> tags need ending tags? Wow, where have I been all these years lol

So would even <br> need a </br> or can you just make it <br /> ?

From HTML to XHTML is just a matter of closing tags specifying, having lower case tags, and specifying a few extra things in the top of your document. Pretty simple.

When you take that into making tableless layouts what you I recommend is go simple. Learn how to make 2 and 3 column layouts and then from there move on.

From PSD to a tableless CSS layout its pretty much the same you slice the images you need and hand code it just without using tables. Of course you need to know how to code without using tables first.

EDIT: EVERY TAG NEEDS CLOSING (reply to the post right above).

Get down HTML fully--then just learn PHP--much more money in it.

Theres my official page for messing around and learning CSS. I think i'm catching on!

How can I make the paragraph break smaller? Its really huge right now as you can see.

whats the use of being able to generate dynamic content and have interactivity etc if the website doesn't comply with web standards and in 10 years time wont be viewable?

mr cheeky, you can try setting the margins for both the h1 and the p to 0. or, if you don't want to mess around with the sides just change the margin-bottom on the h1 and the margin-top on the p
