http://www.w3.org (the standards)
http://www.w3schools.org (introductions to many things, but not
standards-oriented)
Your server is Apache so you should look into learning PHP
instead of ASP.

I don't think you can make images stretch and compress. You can make the
background of the image slice transparent or the same color/pattern as the
background color of that section of the page, and then have the area with
the background color/pattern expand and compress.
The best thing to do
would be to find a web site that does the effect you want, and then print
out all the HTML and CSS and try to figure out how they did it. The Web
Developer Toolbar for Firefox is useful because you can show all CSS class
& ID information on a page, and look at the CSS in the sidebar at the same
time:
