css questions

I am a novice web developer and am trying to better understand how to exactly
place elements on an html document. Ive been told CSS is useful for this but I
dont understand how. Is CSS the answer or not?

Yes it is. Basically ou use div tags instead of tables for layout. You apply
styles to the divs and styles are stored in a style sheet that all pages
refer to. You can easily change the appearence of the site by changing
properties in the style sheet. Save tables for tabular data.
The web is full of information. Just make a search for css on Google. There
are good books too, for example by Eric Meyer, Cristopher Schmitt and
Jeffrey Zeldman.
