I am looking for a clean HTML tutorial.

Question

I've been doing web programming from 1999 to 2004 and it looks like a lot has changed. The layout is no longer done with tables, but with DIVs, etc...

I am looking for a tutorial that combines CSS and HTML and DIVs, etc... and teaches you how to layout a page.

I don't want a tutorial that focuses on a specific one technology, but more of a holistic approach. And for whatever reason I am not find that at all.

Answer 1

Have you looked at w3schools Online Web Tutorials?

Answer 2

I like w3schools because it has these "try it" boxes where you can see what happens instantly. It's very helpful.

Answer 3

I really recommend this one by Matthew James. It's very clean, descriptive and follows all the standards

Answer 4

If you're up for buying or borrowing a book, I would suggest Designing With Web Standards by Jeffrey Zeldman.

I would also highly suggest Zeldman's A List Apart for articles, particularly the Code:CSS and Code:HTML and XHTML sections to cover what you're looking for. There's a lot to learn; a few good articles to start with might be:

• How to Grok Web Standards
• In Search of the Holy Grail
• Fix Your Site with the Right DOCTYPE!
• 12 Lessons for Those Afraid of CSS and Standards

Answer 5

The Opera WSC is good. HTML Dog isn't bad either.
