Worth learning to add that extra vibe to my layouts?
What would you guys say.

Atm i'm just brushing on my skills of designing the layouts. I am on and off with illustrator also for logos. (But that will be a side).
I am then going to code the layouts i have designed up, to practice my XHTML and CSS.
Just one of my designs has a function where, you click the or a buttom. And text drops down, this can be done in jQuery right?
Vibe?

XHTML & CSS are always skills that you should brush up on if you plan to make it on the internet. I am still learning, and I've been doing this stuff for over 6 years...

Almost anything can be done with jQuery. You either have to learn it or find a plugin that does it (there are tons out there)
Yeah, vibe as in that extra spice! Wink.

And yeah, i know there are many plugins for such like Dreamweaver. I use notepad and notepad++ though. Not too sure of a plugin for those. I don't use a WYSIWYG.

And yeah, of course many people keep learning, i have been doing it for about a year now and i'm still a beginner Tongue
jQuery is definitely worth learning. You can do very basic enhancements to a website easily.
For example, the website that I wanted input on is using an ajax ability to fade a specific divs contents and replace it with another divs contents, all without reloading the page. Slideshows, hover advanced hover effects, form validation can all easily be done in jQuery.
^- Not in but WITH, its still javascript.
