Does anyone knows of a free online tutorial of CSS? Beginners as well as advanced?
I can use CSS but not an expert in it so would like to know if anyone knows of a good website.
Thanks!

Another Tip to Add:

Try to stick to XHTML standards, as all this Microsoft crap like <marquee > is just plain awful coding, and isn&#39;t an industry standard, (microsofts way of tryin to ensure everyone uses IE)

check out these:

XHTML Referemce Page (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/doctype.html#s_doctype)
http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/default.asp

anyone interested in web design should read; alistapart.com (http://alistapart.com/)as vivitron indicated, you should learn to validate;

Also, in the begning I talked about that using tables is not a good idea. Through CSS you can still get the alignment and effect of tables without actually using it.
Here is the link for that one:
