Hey. I need some serious help with CSS. I've made a site using dreamweaver without the help of PHP or CSS. Just pure HTML (big mistake i know) but i really don't understand how to have a basic template (title banner, navigation bar, etc) for all of the pages and update them all by just editing one page. Like this Special Reserve website. Thanks in advanced. I'd really appreciate it

Tables, yes, there's defined CSS declarations just for defining Tales, table-rows, table-header etc etc, though mainly CSS2, so wouldn't go diving into that either. There's also the nightmare of the coding for it being very similar in structure to XML, so unless yor familiar, I'd avoid it for now.
Images... Yes and no. Yes, you can use CSS to draw basic images, very clever stuff, hardly supported and looks crap!;) Not much really you can do in CSS to an IMG otherwise.

Firstly, link to a CSS file, don't create the code in the head, it defeats on of the main points for using CSS. Do it like so placing the following code in the head and create a .css file that it links to:
Then you can link to the one file on all pages so you can change 1 file and it will edit the whole design.
Now you want to learn how to position elements using CSS so you don't have those tables in there; learn how to use the margins, padding and the left, right, etc attributes and how they effect each other. Once you've mastered that you can replace those tables and use CSS and

Have a look at www.echoecho.com, they have some very simple CSS tutorials. It really is replacing the with
