    I've just started to learn HTML but now I read that it's changing to HTML 5 and theirs also other things like XHTML and XML. Can I code without HTML. Or do you have to know HTML or just leave HTML out all together and just use XHTML and HTML 5.:confused:

    Learn the basics....stick with HTML until you feel confident enough to move onto xml, HTML5, PHP etc

    Do HTML to get an overview with a view to learning XHTML much more comprehensively with CSS. Wait a while before bothering with HTML5.

    Edit: also use validators for your xhtml and css

    Definitely get used to HTML/CSS from the outset. Don't use tables for layout (unless for tabular data), and don't put any visual formatting instructions into your HTML file - they all go into CSS file(s).

    (I often put CSS styles into the HEAD section of the xHTML document during development, but once I am happy with it it is stripped out and placed into an external CSS file.)

    If you follow these rules, you will be on the right track for HTML5 and for "best practice" in xHTML.

    A good start: http://www.csstutorial.net/
