    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.

    • ah thanks for the double post.... i think its a safari bug.Stugoo
