Cascading Style Sheet Problems!

Hey guys... I have looked over the net and could not find the answers to these very simple .css questions! I was hoping someone that knows about this stuff could help me.

First off I can not find a
{cellpadding: 0; cellspacing: 0} type of command for my tables.
Do they exist?

Secondly, I am wanting to add the SRC of an image in the .css. It is not working on IE... is {src: "myimage.jpg";} the wrong command? I guess so.

Lastly, I am wanting to add Alternative Text for an image in the .css. I can not find out what to use. {alt: "text";} does nothing.

If you guys have any answers to those.. I would greatly appreciate them!

Thanks,
Brandito

http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_gen_content.asp I'm not sure, but this link might help.

The last two questions I think Brandito you've kind of misunderstood CSS a little bit. It's not supposed to totally replace HTML attributes, basically just non structuraly ones. So you should still use SRC and ALT, just things like background colour, foreground colour, width, height. etc.

But you could still use the img for things such as table and page backgrounds.

Oh yeah, for that kind of thing that's what CSS is there for (especially when the image is purely aesthetic, i.e. not related to the content). I thought that Brandito meant how to get images appearing for an img element, without using the SRC attribute.

OK... I am using IE 6
I was trying to put the src of an image into a .css file... but I can get around that for what I am doing. The url(); does not work by the way.

The only problem I am having is with Cell Padding.
padding: 0; does not work.
border-spacing: 0; doesn't appear to do anything collapse doesn't do.
border-collapse: collapse; this command actually works really well, and I knew about it before I posted my comment... but I still see a VERY thin white line around my table (padding). When I hard code cellpadding=0 it is fixed. None of the other CSS commands fix it. So I don't know if they are not supported or what.

Thanx

Can we see your code?
