I don't have a reference to Dorayme's work, but she has a lot on floats
and many other topics. Dorayme?
You talking to me?
I am dorayme, if I ever get my hands on Dorayme, I will ... I will ...
O... I dunno... have a drink with it maybe and tell it to bugger off
and stop confusing folks. <g>
Just a few random thoughts:
I have a piece on floats at
<
http://netweaver.com.au/floatHouse/>
And as for other bits and pieces, best I can do for now is:
<
http://dorayme.netweaver.com.au/>
But mostly, I would not recommend any of my stuff to someone just
starting out. About floats, it is probably a good idea for a beginner
to see what he can do without floats for a while.
In fact, I would recommend getting to see how much the beginner can do
with some basic HTML:
Block elements: headings (H1, 2, 3...), paragraphs, DIVS, UL and OL
Inline elements: SPAN, IMG
And some basic CSS: paddings, margins, borders, colors, backgrounds.
And some general overall things about how to link CSS to HTML docs,
the importance of a doctype to avoid quirks.
Best to stay away from *positioning* (e.g. position: absolute

for a
while. In fact, stay away from things out of the normal HTML flow.
When limitations are felt, this is the time to learn more things, when
there is hunger, the new appetite will cause a resolve of the spirit.
