CSS Help (Reusing Image Tags <img>?)

A site uses the following in the HTML:

<img src="longpath_1.gif" .....>
<img src="longpath_2.gif" .....>
<img src="longpath_3.gif" .....>

Can the above be changed to use CSS like:

<img class="1">
<img class="2">
<img class="3">

Where class includes the src / width / height / title / alt (or at least src) in the CSS instead?

Thanks

Kind of. You can't use "1" as a class iirc. You have to give it a more identifiable name.

Can't start with a number.

Thanks, I thought it would be possible any pointers?

OP: title, src and alt are not things that should be done with CSS, but width, height, positioning etc are. HTML deals with the content, CSS deals with style and formatting.

The reason it is set up like that it because content is specific to each element, whereas the same formatting and style can be applied to multiple elements.

You can however use CSS for background images for other block elements like div, p etc. But you'll have to be specific if you only want one image, so use id rather than class.
