Does anyone have a link that has a lot or all of the possible CSS options?

The W3 School's website is pretty good for a 'dictionary' type of reference. For visual overview you might want to check out The Zen Garden. Welcome to the forums.

http://w3.org/ has the official specifications, but is a very dry read.
Their CSS validator is very useful too.

Buy a book. I know that's a weird idea, but if you get Eric Myer's 'cascading stylesheets - the definitive guide' you will have a real reference book, that will last you for 5 years easily without going out of date, I have the last edition, and it's still fine, since 90% of the browsers [I mean, IE6] don't support most of the advanced techniques anyway.
I avoid css zengarden, alistapart, and other sites like them except to see what they're upto for one main reason: the idea of stable cross browser/cross os/ cross processor speed testing [otherwise known as real world functinality requirements] is oddly alien to them. For a while I used to test their methods but it got boring, and predictable, I could make most of them fail within 3 tests, usually 2.
But a good reference book will pay for itself many times over. But do yourself a favor, avoid alistapart, until they grow up or whatever they need to do.

Does anyone have experience with Eric Meyer on CSS?
How is that book?
And maybe part 2?
Or is the book recommended by Lizardz a better bible?
Thanx
Koen

Eric Meyer wrote the book I recommended. O'Reilly books have a quality that most others don't: they are permanent additions to your reference library. Avoid Sams press if you can.
If you want more tutorials, look at the one you mentioned. Best thing is to go a good bookstore and look at the books, see which fits your style of learning best.

I went to Borders "for a few minutes" a few weeks back and emerged about 4 hours later having just perused about 3 or 4 of the 100-plus shelf blocks.

If you want to spend some serious browsing time check out Powell's technical books in Portland Oregon if you're ever there, amazing store, they have it all.
