I am professional in HTM / Photoshop. But I would like to learn Tableless CSS.

I haven't really been able to find a hardcore source to learn from online. Only basic examples. Does anyone know of a site that goes from beginner to pro with Tableless CSS?

This site is a good start http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/layouts/. I know it seems basic but it is a start. Not to mention the CSS library that is available on the site for menus, forms, etc. I recommend getting a book called 'CSS The definitive guide' by Eric A. Meyer. It's a good read for CSS and a good reference too.

I've yet to actually see, say, a video tutorial of someone making a basic tableless site though. Not a bad idea though!

Lastly, one of the things I like to do is find a great looking site and view the source and the CSS and see how it was put together. You have to be careful because I've seen some beautiful sites only to have CSS file a mile long. Start simple or you'll get overwhelmed :)

cheers!

I would say the best way to learn about making templates is looking at the source code of other templates and seeing how things are done. Here are some layouts you can look at:

Also having a CSS cheat is handy (http://lesliefranke.com/files/reference/csscheatsheet.html)!
