I have brought books for PHP though. No way you can do that without having a reference. Try looking for tutorials that take you through how to make a site. http://www.subcide.com/tutorials/csslayout/ This one helped me understand the aspects of CSS alot better when i started.

Books will give you the knowledge to build a website. Practice will help you design a decent site.

I found it very useful when starting out. I'd search the book for a feature and put it on my site! -------------------- The Squeeze Shop is OPEN! I just ordered my awesome shirts! Did you?

Oh and it's been on the main page for .... a month now I think. -------------------- The Squeeze Store is now OPEN!

For technical books I typically go with O'Reilly as their content layout is most comfortable for me.

PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice - Matt Zandstra : This guy did his research and you can absolutely feel his passion for the subject. and two of the Visual Quickstart Guide series. DHTML & CSS - Jason Crawford Teague : Very good intro to CSS and manipulating CSS with DHTML MySQL - Larry Ulman : Great introduction to MySQL. I have many more 'Bibles' including the programmers guide to internet mail and programmers guide to HTTP but the above I read cover to cover during which time I was captivated and wanting to learn more. The other books I reference when required. -------------------- Bright Idea? -- Don't Let it disappear
