Your kidding right ? Here are four sites from the first page I got from a simple google search for "resistor color codes":

http://xtronics.com/kits/rcode.htm
http://www.electrician.com/resist_calc/resist_calc.htm
http://samengstrom.com/elec/resistor/
http://www.elexp.com/t_resist.htm

Search engines are our friends. :) Note: You may have to use the U.S. "color" instead of the standard english "colour".

Quotealso is 100ohms 1k?

Nope. 1000ohms is 1K. "K" is short for kilo which means 1000 as in 1 kilogram is a 1000 grams.

another good tip is to use the search feature of this forum. Just about all of the questions you are likely to have are already answered in here somewhere! Just a matter of being creative with your search terms!
