Default Sure.

Jewel,

There are several basic books on html and css but you have to be careful. Most books and the vast majority of online stuff is terribly dated, not standards compliant at all.

Sitepoint's book, Build Your Site the Right Way with html and css is really good. I haven't used htmldog dot com's book but I'm sure it is excellent based on the web site. Any of these I would order from Amazon for a much better price.

But I have used another that I really like a lot and would probably recommend most because it is fun to read as well as good in content. It is called Head First html with css and xhtml by Elizabeth and Eric Freeman. It is very colorful and graphical with such things as "pencil" drawn arrows pointing out examples and notes "hand" written in the margins pointing out important details. It also seems to focus well on stuff you will really need to do.
