I have been trying to learn Xhtml, Html, and Css for a while now. I have just picked it up again and started studying on W3 schools online. The problem for me is, I am a visual learner and when you tell me a div does something I really won't get it until I see someone do that something with a div.
If anyone could help me with these problems that would be great.

My first question is, what do divs do exactly?
Secondly why is it whenever I try to make a website and put up example content the images I have sliced move around the content like this... http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l7...y_Bouzy/su.jpg
3. The rest of the questions I have are explained in hear starting with how to get the header text where I want it... http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l7...ouzy/Funum.jpg
I know thats a lot of questions and I thank in advance anyone who answers any, but If 5 people respond with solutions my problem should be solved.
P.S. I am not just asking these questions without having tried to figure them out on my own. I have gone through the tutorials on W3 schools. I passed the quizzes on there for html, xhtml, and almost passed css.
If anyone knows of any video tutorials or really good normal tutorials that would be greatly appreciated. Like I said I am a visual learner so Video tutorials are great.
