SAMS HTMl X in 24 hours - The folks I've sent to this volume all get as far a hour 5 (in 2.5 Hours) then use it as a great reference book!

I get no 10% form SAMS for the abolute beginner it is really good.

I would also say Do Not go down the dreamweaver or front page (the two front runners) until you know what HTML is all about then fine.

don't forget when you get good there is ASP - Javascript and many other tools you can use.

Whether you are UK or USA based now there are disabled access rights to consider too. If a disbaled person can show they needed (wanted) to access your site and could not it is technically an offence that you can be sued for (in some places).

Have fun
