Hi Morgana! With the advent of IE7, CSS 2.1 is now quite well supported in modern browsers, but unfortunately IE6 is likely to remain the majority browser for several years yet :-( Apart from its many layout bugs (eg the ones detailed at http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer.html) IE6 doesn't support advanced selectors like p > a, p + p, a[href], etc - rendering them next to useless apart from little styling 'treats' for people using more standards-compliant browsers. More seriously, it doesn't support the properties min-/max-height/width, content and probably more.
Some people here may object to the recommendation, but I found Dreamweaver MX2004 (in code mode) very useful when I was learning CSS, as it has a nice autocomplete feature, and warns about differing browser support. Welcome to the exciting and only occasionally infuriating world of CSS!
