Is it required that you wrap the font-family attribute in quotes? What about when you want to include several alternate fonts, such as
font-family:arial, verdana, sans-serif;
Anyway, a super tutorial for budding beginners.

Excellent question!
Quotes are not actually required, unless your font has a space in it. (e.g., "Trebuchet MS") -- though it's worth noting that even if you don't use quotes, many browsers will still apply the style.
So you could have something like this:
font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Tahoma;
I'll talk more about specific selectors (like font-family) in the next guide.
Cheers.
And it would probably work, but for standards compliance, and better compatibility across browsers, this would be better:
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Tahoma;

Cool... Guess I always got away with it because I used one-word fonts like verdana and arial.
Good luck with the next instalment.

Ahg, messed up that reply.
Please mentally shift the "I'll talk more [...] Cheers." to the bottom

As far as I've heard windows IE is the only browser that still isn't atleast trying to be compatible with all of CSS. The rest of the ones I've tested atleast are pretty much up to standards
Nice tut though. Maybe if you can teach the whole world CSS we might have a chance to persuade microsoft to get off their butts!

Yeah, IE7 is much better than it's predecessors, but there's always room for improvement. Let's hope that the IE developers make better CSS support a priority.
