Adding (setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil) to your .emacs file
should do this.

I'm a simple HTML monkey, not a die-hard C programmer :-)

All I want is for Emacs to do something really simple like start each
new line of my code from the left margin when I press RETURN, not
according to its default TAB criteria. I've had a good look through the
manual so, please, no RTFM. Can't find anything pertaining to removing
auto-indentation. I tried

('indent-tab-mode nil)

.... inside my custom variables section of .emacs but to no avail.

The reason I want this simplicity is that I want my HTML to read exactly
as I typed it within View Source, not according to a particular
browser's default TAB width. The only way to achieve this is to eschew
TABs in favour of spaces.

Did it but to no avail. For example, if I press RET at the end of a line
of HTML which began with an indented <td> Emacs automatically begins the
next line beneath the previous tag. I don't want this.

(local-set-key "\C-m" 'newline) in the html-mode that you use.

I appended this to my html-helper-mode.el but Emacs still indents
beneath the preceding tag.

I think you need to put the local-set-key in a load hook for
html-helper.el, not in html-helper.el itself. You want this value set
locally for buffers in html-helper-mode. Try something like

(add-hook 'html-helper-mode-hook (lambda ()
                                    (local-set-key "\C-m" 'newline)))

The objective of this above load hook is to change the definition of
RETURN from newline-and-indent to newline. Once you have added this
hook and start a new html file using html-helper-mode (not an existing
html-helper-mode buffer as the load hook only runs when the mode is
loaded), try C-h k <return> to see what is bound to the return key -
it should be just the function newline, not newline-and-indent..

If it is bound to just newline and you still find your code indenting
to the same level as the previous line etc - then its probably due to
one of the fill modes which you may also need to disable.

Tim, you're a genius. Now I can grow my hair back :-)
