tutorial books are pointless. all you need is a reference guide a few good tutorial sites and you're fine.

Scotty, still if you can code with Actionscript, then HTML is a far cry easier. No excuse for not knowing.

Excuse No. 1: I'm 100% self-taught. What I know is what I found out myself or by other people pointing me in the right direction (like here).

Excuse No. 2: HTML pages are boring.

I don't quite agree with that statement, but, to each their own.

That first one is a selection menu, usually used on forms.

Are you making drop down navigation like this (samples at the bottom of the linked page)?
http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/

Mouse over, then more options show up, and sometimes multiple levels of menu?

It's no good to be a one trick pony in today's competitive job market. Unless you plan on being one of these flash experts that makes all those annoying websites. ;-) ha ha, just teasing ya. (But you have to admit some are quite annoying)

(X)HTML + CSS and some Javascript (should be an easy transition for you since Javascript and Actionscript are very similar) are very good things to learn. They aren't that hard.

I'm self taught, but you don't see me bitching about not knowing the easiest language in existance.

Erm...how does getting pointed in the right direction make you self taught.  The people doin the "pointing" are basically teaching you.
