Where to begin coding?

I'm very skilled in the design aspect, my coding has literaly dissapeared.
I used to slice the images in fireworks, ect. now im having problems.

Whats bugging me is i cant get the height to stay at 100% without making all the different tables loose there size and throwing the images off.

At the bottom the © box always ends up near the middle of the site when it should always be at the bottom.

im starting to pull my hair out now.

or if you would point me in the right direction please?

I thought i might be slicing wrong, so i basically made it simple as possible

banner, nav bar underneath, 3 columns for content, and a footer.

You should never use tables for a website layout, try out CSS. You can check out some tutorials at w3cschools.com.

And no offense but I wouldn't call you "very skilled".

I do website too but I always used tables in combination with css and until now, I don't have any problem in website layout. Using only css(div,id) might be difficult for a novice. So I suggest develop your own technique for web layout.

Divs are not css they're html. CSS is what gives the html elements their styles. There are major problems with using tables, the worst of which is that search engines can't read them correctly so your site doesn't get indexed correctly.
