Re: CSS and new HTML versions

1) I'm on chapter 6 of "The Complete Reference: HTML" by Thomas Powell 2nd edition (really good book btw..I also read HTML 4 for dummies..what a piece of crap compared to this). Anyway, the author is always saying how great Cascading Style Sheets is but not widely used/supported yet. My question is how many people here actually use CSS, how good is it, is it difficult, and what are some compatability problems, if any?


2) I just found out there's a new HTML version, 4.01...and I'm wondering how do people actually keep up with new features (such new tags, etc) without actually having to buy a new edition of an HTML book..any sites?
 

The purpose of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is to seperate the structure from presentation of the HTML document. It's a little hassle to use CSS on a small HTML webpage beacuse you have to define various styles for your webpage, which is not intuative . However on large webpages it's definetely easier to use CSS since you can just apply the style to the "whole" document.
