it depends on what you mean by "codes"

are you interested in learning a new scripting language, or do you just want different HTML codes to use? if its the latter, then I would suggest going back and actually learning HTML. if you're looking for different HTML codes then chances are you're just copying and pasting codes for "cool" things without really learning anything.

if it's the former:
client side or server side? (largely dependent on what your host supports. no use learning a server side language at the moment if you can't find any free hosts that support it, if you could be learning something that you can actually apply)
client side languages are those that are interpreted by the browser- they include HTML and JavaScript
server side languages are interpreted by software on the server, and they send plain HTML to the browser after doing what you want them to do. some of the most common include PHP, ASP, and Perl (CGI)

hope that sets you in the right direction. feel free to ask any questions that you may have :)

I guess I mean the former, because I have no idea what any codes but HTML are! I know quite a bit of HTML, but I would like to learn some more. I would also like to learn some more CSS, and I would like to learn about PHP and Perl, because I have no earthly idea what they are. Thanks.

try searching google with [what you want to learn] tutorial and you're bound to find tons of stuff.

for tutorials on PHP and the like you can either browse through this forum or do a search- plenty of links have been posted.

If your host supports any programming languages, try and learn those. Your host may have tutorials, or may have a forum for members to discuss a particular language.

HTH,
