confused with images

I'm confused. I'm trying to get to grips with css and at present I'm
experimenting with images.

Using tables I find that the following code will place an image on my screen .

However when I try to do the same using css all that happens is that a blank
box appears on the screen. I've used the following css code.

If, however, I type the image style out and then use Dreamweaver to place the
image in 'img src'. it produces the following code and produces the desired
picture, but there must be something wrong the code is way to big.

As it is only a few images I'm concerned with I'm using an internal
stylesheet. Images are placed in an image folder

Many thanks
Kevin

The style attribute is used to style the <img> tag that loads the image.
You just use ONE <img> tag:

<img src="images/abc.gif" style="position:absolute; top:135px;
left:170px; width:75px; height:50px">
