I too have had this dilemma but i suggest the HTML Black Book which is a bit outdated but gives you a basic idea of HTML and how to use it… I would not recommend it for experts as it assumes you have no knowledge of HTML.

Also, I recommend you use a HTML editor – I’ve recently discovered one at :

◙ Don’t be surprised if you don’t learn HTML/CSS very fast. Most of us took years to learn to use it proficiently. Even now after 10 years I still don’t know it all since it keeps changing all the time.

◙ 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.

◙ When FTPing files from your computer to your online account send text files, HTML/XHTML files, CSS files in the ascii mode. Send image files, movie files, music files in the binary mode. There is an automatic mode that is supposed to detect the type of file you are sending. But it isn’t always reliable.
*** HERE IS HOW I LEARNED HTML/XHTML/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 your source code for coding errors. validating will not work unless you are using the correct doctype and the correct document encoding. Validating is not something a newcomer should bother with. Being new you will make lots of mistakes and won’t know how to fix them yet.
◙ Many libraries world-wide have books related to the Internet, Web and computers in general. They also have CDs and DVDs. Go to your local public library and get the username and password for You have to get them at your library because that is where you will pick up and return the books after reading them. You can look up the book yourself but they will have to order it for you. Sometimes this can take awhile if the book is checked out by someone else. After reading the books and making copies of certain pages with a photo copier simply return it to them.
◙ By using Firstsearch you can search for any book in the world. Some libraries might charge a small fee but most are free. Even if they charge a fee it will be less than the cost of the book or other item you are ordering. Every Web Design book I have read was acquired in this fashion. 🙂
