I used HTML for dummies when I learned and it was great. I would use that with the old "View Source" option in the web browsers and picked it up quickly. If I might make a suggestion, if you have any say in the matter whatsoever, have her learn HTML with notepad or some text editor so that she learns how to handcode. The reason I say that is because I am the only developer here that knows HTML. We have some whizzes with Dreamweaver but it doesn't work out too well when CF is producing a lot of the content. They're screwed because they don't know how to do this stuff and it's totally basic. It's kind of a apain, especially with IDE's such as Studio and DW to do alot of that for you.

She's in the music industry, but she happens to use computers quite often - she knows Access and more advanced Office techniques like mail-merges - so she's not computer illiterate. My question is - can anyone recommend a good HTML beginner's guide/reference? There are way too many out there for me to just choose. She's picking up the things I've showed her pretty quickly (a, br, table, ul, ol, hr, etc), but she needs to just sit down and practice with a good reference. I don't think me showing her is the most effective way to learn since I'm probably too fast for her and don't realize it. I ultimately want to see her building small web-applications around all of the access-databases at her work. They have a bunch of good data just begging to be put on the web. Thanks for any suggestions, Adam. ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
