Can you create your own CSS as background-text write to padding areas?

[RC]

I found background-color, background-image, but
I don't see background-text. I would like have some
text write to the padding areas like

th, td { margin: 0; border-width: 1; width: 40px; height: 20px;
padding-left: 30px; padding-top: 0; padding-right: 0; padding-bottom: 0;
background-text: 'Hello World'; background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left center; background-attachment: scroll; }
I can do this with background-image: url(helloWorld.jpg);
But I want to write text "Hello World" in the left padding area.
Should W3 consortium create background-text for CSS?

What text is a background? I can't think of any time I would use text that
isn't in content. Can you provide some examples?

"For internal distribution only. For internal distribution only. For
internal distribution ..."

Hahaha....!!!
check out this

a:link { color: red } /* unvisited links */
a:visited { color: blue } /* visited links */
a:hover { color: yellow } /* user hovers */
a:active { color: lime } /* active links */
a:focus { background-color: yellow }
a:focus:hover { background-color: #dadabe }

img { border-collapse: separate; border-width: 0; border-spacing: 0;
padding: 0; }

a.image { margin: 0; background-image: url(arrow_right.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: right center; border:
0; padding-top:0; padding-bottom:0; padding-left: 0; padding-right: 15; }

<a class="image" ...>...</a>

This I can put a little image arrow_right.gif at right padding area for
<a> tag, then later I can use JavaScript change the
style.backgroundImage for arrow_down.gif.

This is can pull down menu application.

Now I have a different application, I want to write something in
table's <th> and/or <td> tags in the padding areas.
I want write text (HTML text is better), not the silly image(s).

What effect do border-collapse and border-spacing have on an image?

I'd say that's high-priority content, not background.

Yes and no. It's supposed to be repeated over the entirety of the
document. Would it make more sense to insert it within the content at
the end of every sentence?

If you want it repeated as the background of the entire document, why
not just put together an image with the words on it, and use that image
as the background?

It would make more sense to insert it into the content logically.

IMO, a background can be covered and should not be used for important
information. I also believe user stylesheets can remove/replace css
backgrounds, with the obvious consequences. Browser resizing and monitors
having different resolutions may contribute to the problems as well.
