Designing with CSS

Ive been away from webdesigning for too long, being drafted into army and getting into doing heavier programming at college level afterwards, i wanna get back into the real deal seeing im a bit out of date. Im looking for tutorials for designing a website using CSS and div layers and the like instead of tables. I've seen loads of tutorials out there but few or none that cut the crap and comes up with examples of how to lay out the graphics part of the design in a practical way. I know CSS and HTML almost by head from before, but i have little or no experience in how to order e.g. menus, content, logo, and the like relative to each other using div layers instead of tables like i used to do it.

Theres prolly quite a few other threads on this, but seeing the search function is out of order, theres not much use of them.

Any help much appreciated. :)

That should help.

Designing a template in CSS is alot like designing it in tables, but with less images. All your spacer.gif's are out the door. All images that can be tiled but arent are out the door. Etc. I learned coding with DIV's and CSS by just jumping in and slicing a template and hand coding. Trial and error helped.

W3Schools. Although I don't like their too-concise tutorials (not friendly to newblets), they're excellent for quick-reference/cheat-sheet if you're familiar with the language(s).

While w3schools are nice, they dont have any applied examples of how to use the css in a practical way to actually build something.
