http://www.w3schools.com as well.

Those who also want to know how to have their tables centered and not have the text centered (cross-browser):

text-align: center;
margin: 0 auto;


goes into the body tag. And this (below) goes into the divs, etc.

text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto;


And for those of you who want to know why IE isn't w3 compliant, check out the opacity stuff below:

filter: Alpha(Opacity=70); /* Internet Explorer Opacity */
opacity: 0.7; /* W3 Compliant Opacity. Doesn't work in IE. */


And for those who want to re-do their scrollbar(s)... (Only works on IE5+ ONLY in WINDOWS95+!)

scrollbar-face-color: #color; /* Front color */
scrollbar-base-color: #color; /* The track color itself. */
scrollbar-arrow-color: #color; /* Arrow, duh! */
scrollbar-shadow-color: #color; /* Lighter Shadow around scrollbar */
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #color; /* Darker shadow around scrollbar */

You forgot:
scrollbar-light-color: color;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: color;

Also, don't forget about http://www.bluerobot.com/ and I will eventually have more tutorials up (not only for css though). I'll wait and post mine when I've got more :P

I'm sure this site is very well known:

http://www.csszengarden.com/

"A demonstration of what can be accomplished visually through CSS-based design."

Some of the designs are absolutly breathtaking. And all done with css!

I usually recommend the SitePoint CSS Reference (http://reference.sitepoint.com/css) for learning CSS.

CSS plays a very important role in creating a webpage... and to properly define the properties in CSS is a crucial part and must be handle with care... sometimes we define too many properties when only one property can do the same work for too many so it should be studied carefully before defining... Thanks for sharing valuable links regarding CSS...

For speech, where around the listener the speaker appears to be located. 0 degrees would be right in front. See also elevation. As of 6 years ago, no browser supported this property; some may now.

I've always used w3schools or mozilla. Mozilla isn't that pretty but it works.
