Images in cells

Hi guys.

A simple question but perhaps other advice also, I have been using dreamweaver for a while but am only just learning and gettin to grips with the benifits of css, so far I understand most, but how do I get ccs to control particular elements. For example, I have a table, within that a cell, within the cell I want an image and I want to specify the properties for the image i.e I want the image to be transparent, positions at the bottom right of the cell and I want it to be behind the text which is already in the cell.

Could some one help me out with the basic html for this first of all, all I have managed so far is to set the cell background to the image but this gives me no control or does it? (it also repeats the image!!!) I’m not sure but should I position the image in (img) tags within the cell, will that give me more control?

Secondly if anybody has the time or can help me with the CSSS question i.e the correct syntax to link CSS with html…point me in the direction of good tutorials and I;ll get stuck in…

cheers guys (p.s w3schools is good but not helpin with some more in debth stuff, Its all very well showing how to put and image on screen and have text next to it, but that looks dull and I use tables mostly as templates…bad idea I presume but cant see how css keeps everything on the screen the same when viewed on different browsers…ok thats a whole new thing!!! Sorry.
