Will Browsers Agree At Once On Standards? its very difficult to learn web design

For me it seems to be the easiest way to web design in Flash;at least things are clear here and the code will work in all browsers...I tried to learn html(not difficult at all)and css(easy but there are plenty of browser gliches )and after i tried to make a simple rollover or navigation bar work in all major browsers without javascript only css and failed,then i started searching for a linux flash clone or smth to be capable of exporting flash animation with some actionscript but the ones i found are in a very early stage of development.Do you have any experience with f4l(uira lately)or qflash or openLaszlo?Are there any others?I don't need to build games or complicated stuff but some 3 state buttons,navigation bars,simple animations...10x

Search engines cant read flash, so avaoid that :)Anyway, As long as you follow th W3C guidelines, you will be fine. All browsers must read code almost the same, and the W3C tried to regulate all this. IE, FF, Netscape and K-meleon render pretty much te same, but IE likes to mess up with messy code.
