Right, that is what I'm getting at: How does one actually teach oneself the fundamentals of HTML/CSS though? Off the top of my head, I know I've read through - http://learnlayout.com/ http://learnlayout.com/ - http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/internals/howbrowserswork/ http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/internals/howbrowsers... - http://htmldog.com/guides/html/beginner/ http://htmldog.com/guides/html/beginner/ - http://htmldog.com/guides/html/intermediate/ http://htmldog.com/guides/html/intermediate/ And long ago did the same with w3cschools. But it feels like the box model only accurately describes how browsers work about 70% of the time. How do I learn to be able to predict at least 95%? I have suspected that the right approach is actually to take 50 or so layouts sketched on paper and do them. Is that actually reasonable?
