Thus you are learning how to use the IDE and not how to code in HTML. If you were stuck without the IDE you would find it much harder than if you were to just learn HTML.

Not really. Notice the past tense - thus insinuating I stopped using an IDE at some point. I guess some people learn differently (well, it's been proven actually). I found having a tool to assist me greatly beneficial, you obviously did not. Let's just leave it at that, eh?
Understanding the tags of HTML is easy. Putting it all together with CSS and images is the hard part
.
w3schools is good and look at code of templates and other sites. I wouldn't recommend a book for html personally because of easy it is.
I wouldn't recommend learning from a program like Dreamweaver as it's code isn't always the best. Especially if you let set class names and everything it will just make you life harder.
I learned it more or less the same way I learned C/C++: solely through copy/modify experimentation, and looking at references.
"Oh, that's cool. What happens if I change this? Cool! Now, can I make it do that? Sweet..."
It may not be the fastest way to learn, but it definitely helps it stick better.
your tips were a lot helpful..
thanx

And I used Dreamweaver + their templates function to help design
. Got my functions and stuff from w3, the best site to learn from imo. It has detailed explanations and examples. JS, CSS, and much much more.

CSS is tricky for a while, especially when trying to 'un-learn' using tables for layouts.

or
B) use tutorials.
I went with 'A', Trial and error*
