ALWAYS CHECK THE REFERENCE PAGES TO MAKE CERTAIN YOU ARE WRITING YOUR SOURCE CODE THE CORRECT WAY! JUST BECAUSE YOU SAW SOME SOURCE CODE WRITTEN A PARTICULAR WAY IN SOMEONE ELSE'S PAGE DOESN'T MEAN THEY WROTE IT CORRECTLY. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT YOU'LL FIND THAT THEY DIDN'T WRITE IT CORRECTLY. BUT LOOKING AT OTHER PEOPLE'S SOURCE CODE IS STILL A GOOD WAY TO LEARN. IF SOURCE CODE ISN'T WRITTEN THE CORRECT WAY IT CAN CAUSE OBJECTS TO BE DISPLAYED IN PLACES YOU DON"T WANT THEM IN OR EVEN CRASH SOMEONE'S BROWSER. NETSCAPOE 4.X USERS ARE THE MOST VULNERABLE TO CRASHING. MOST OF THE TIME BROWSERS A VERY FORGIVING WHEN IT COMES TO BAD SOURCE CODE. BUT WHY TAKE CHANCES. THE MORE CORRECTLY YOU WRITE YOUR PAGES THE MOER BROWSERS THEY WILL WORK WITH.

here's how i learned html and css
when you come to a page on the web click VIEW at the top of your browser and click on SOURCE. if you are using internet explorer browser the html source code will open up in windows notepad. in notepad click on FILE/SAVE AS to save the page's source code to your hard drive. in internet explorer click on FILE/OPEN to open the source code in the browser. go back to notepad and remove some of the code and click save. then in internet explorer hold down the SHIFT KEY and click on the REFRESH button on the browser's toolbar to see what effect the removed source code had on the page. you will learn a hundred times faster this way.
something to think about later is.......after you have gotten a little experience with html try doctype, xhtml, and css. then try to validate your pages. validating checks for coding errors. validating will not work unless you are using the correct doctype and the correct document encoding. http://validator.w3.org/
