Help on docktypes and CCS???

If you don't even know what CSS is, then perhaps tables are okay. IF you don know what it is, Learn it and use it!

ALso include a Doctype before all your HTML. If you dont know what one of them is just use this.


I'm absolutely new in HTML so will someone please tell me what ccs is? And what does a doctype do? :huh: :huh: :huh:

Um, Let me noob try...

CSS is Cascading Style Sheet in full. Its idea is to seperate your website presentation from its content. Your content is stored in your HTML (or PHP, or whatever) file whereas your layout code is saved in the CSS file(s), so that when you wanna change your layout or stuff, you need only to edit you CSS file once, and every page that feed on this style sheet will take the effect. This is the basic idea. It has existed kinda long, but browser support for it was very good until the recent versions of browsers.

You can find a detailed CSS guide here, skim it through and you will know how it works.

CSS reources and links to resources, a lot to learn from here, where you start to be practical. B)

While about DOCTYPE, you can find details about it here, cant remember which page, but should be there.

One good spam deserves another.

Seriously, if you are just starting out check out WebMonkey.com (http://webmonkey.com/) A lot of it is out of date but it has good tutorials and is fun to read. (as far as tutorials go)
