Im wanting to learn to design pages properly using DIV's i have very limited knowledge and was wondering if there are any decent books out there that help to design tableless designs.

Thanks :tu:

There are so many more. This is how I learned, I never picked up a book. Look through other peoples code, StumbleUpon brought some great resources to my attention as well. The second link was the most helpful for me. Once you get past the initial learning curve, you will absolutely love it.

Dan Cederholm's "Web Standards Solutions" is excellent. I also really liked Budd, Moll, and Cameron's "CSS Mastery", but perhaps not as a first book.

Bulletproof web design, definately. Contains practical examples of changing current table designs into "bulletproof" css designs, which can change in size without breaking the design.

For everything web design, you need one website, alistapart.com.
You have tons of ideas in there. The website is really for website designers and developers.

Good luck!

i did check out SP as i know they sell books and the like. Although the sell a book titles tabled web design the about.com review says it skips past it a bit to quickly and is more of a good css book.

Might have to look over thier forums as i dont visit it too often. Have managed to create my first tableless layout which is fully validated. Just currently editing some of my other sites so they are too!

Once again thanks for the help. Much better desiging with <div> over <table>!
