Good tool for css authoring

[url=http://www.newsgator.com/NGOLProduct.aspx?ProdID=TopStyle]http://www.newsgator.com/NGOLProduct.aspx?ProdID=TopStyle[/url]

It is worth getting the pro version (IMO).

Good couple of features like checking validity against browsers or standards etc. etc. and really helps you manage your style sheets; see all your selector-class-id declarations and helps create your css very quickly.

This is a good tool for when your setting the background colors in your css.

It takes the guess work out and it has a mock site preview to let you see how your colors will look together.

It may be worth to mention by now, even though i'm still working on the Tutorials, the references are growing fast.

www.brugbart.com - Tutorials/References

I mainly focus on HTML, CSS and PHP/MySQL. It is possible to comment on each Tutorial Entry and each Reference Entry.
At the moment there are some pretty good position based layouts, with multiple columns.

http://www.w3schools.com/ is a great website to follow the programming languages.

That was already mentioned.

 

Anyway, try:

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS1/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-CSS2-20080411/

It's more suited for intermediate to advanced coders since it's more of a manual than a teaching/step-through website.  It's the best way to assure that you're standards-compliant (since they ARE the standards).

They also have the standards for HTML and XHTML.

Very Great and Famous GERMAN & FRENCH website about HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and some server-side related, which is surfable in a really great catalogue!

 

Main-Site:

http://www.selfhtml.org/

 

German-Site with Search (= "Suche nach") -- Have a try!

http://de.selfhtml.org/

 

ps: Google-Translate might help you out then when it comes to the facts.
