help...
I'm currently on a web course doing html stuff.
Trouble is, its like a mental foreign alien language at the mo. I know its all simple stuff so please dont laugh... I'm sure it will come but for now, i'm in desperate need of some help.I wondered if any one new of any online dictionaries that give really simple explanations of what different things are and do eg. href, class, tags, blocks, html abbreviations etc etc.
thanks in advance.

see thats what I found difficult was the terminology.
took me years to discover a selector was the thing you were... selecting!i find it easier to relate everything to what it is.
html is markup... what you basically write (basically).. se what i did there.
id is one, like your drivers license... one of you...
class. class of people.
head, and body... head is what goes on up top.. all the thinking. body is what you see.
HTML tags are self descriptive,
div - division in the page.
ul - unordered list.
frames - shit.thats how i figured it out....
If that fails... print out an HTML cheatsheet (google),stick it to your wall, and read it every night before bed and whilst your getting ready in the morning.
