Align image left with css

Question

Hi, I have a simple question. I am using the following line
in my css file to apply a background image to a canvas:
Canvas {
background-image:
Embed("/images/Icons_Final/connected.png");
What would I do to align that image to the left of the
canvas. I can't seem to find any documentation on these specific
types of properties within CSS. Also, if anyone could point me
toward a nice concise list of all the properties available in
FLEX's CSS, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

CSS is not a substitute for HTML, it is a styling
companion… it stands for Cascading STYLE Sheets… It is
a method to apply uniform styles to a page or all of your pages on
your site. You still need to use the full functionality of HTML or
graduate to PHP, SQL, or other methods of adding functionality to
your site.
As for animated image links… use animated .gif files
and just apply a link to it. You will get all kinds of advice and
opinions on whether animated .GIFs are appropriate, classy, ugly or
tacky… but if animated links are what you want, they work.
If you want animation in the sense of Flash buttons, buttons
that blink, change colors, images, etc. when moused over or
clicked, you can use CSS for this effect.
Make 2 to 4 images with your graphics editor, sized to fit as
background images behind text. Try 100x15 pixels to start. Then put
this code in your CSS file for links:
.left a:link {
color: #FFF;
.left a:visited {
color:#CCC;
.left a:hover {
color: #FF6699;
background-image: url(images/left-hover.jpg);
.left a:active {
color: #F00;
background-image: url(images/left-hover.jpg);
I used this to define a left side and right side set of
links, but you could apply this to all your links or just a named
set.
This will produce links that can very closely approximate
flash buttons but still maintain a text based link that can be read
by the search engine browsers.
Hope this is helpful…
