I would love to know all this stuff inside, but I guess it's a trade off of
how much time one has to how much one will be using it.

Just out of interest, is the CSS 2 standard currently supported but the
latest browsers. So if I do invest the time reading this and learning it,
can I apply what I learn right now? (therefore does IE6 and firefox support
this).

I wish I had more time to read all the things I wanted to learn about.

Cheers for your input.
