There are several places, but these are good places to start:
http://www.w3.org/
http://www.w3schools.com/

There are a few helpful links here:
http://drupal.org/node/37156

In general, this has lots of relevant information and should at list be 
skimmed, if not perused:

That depends on what kind of border you want, but the three to look at are 
border [0], padding [1] and margin [2].

Look for something like 'border-right <some-number-here>' or 'border 0 
<some-number-here> 0 0' somewhere in the image classes and/or ids.

According to http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html:
4.1.3 Characters and case
 The following rules always hold:
 In CSS 2.1, identifiers (including element names, classes, and IDs in 
selectors) can contain only the characters [A-Za-z0-9] and ISO 10646 
characters U+00A1 and higher, plus the hyphen (-) and the underscore (_); 
they cannot start with a digit, or a hyphen followed by a digit. Only 
properties, values, units, pseudo-classes, pseudo-elements, and at-rules may 
start with a hyphen (-); other identifiers (e.g. element names, classes, or 
IDs) may not. Identifiers can also contain escaped characters and any ISO 
10646 character as a numeric code (see next item). For instance, the 
identifier "B&W?" may be written as "B\&W\?" or "B\26 W\3F". 
Note that Unicode is code-by-code equivalent to ISO 10646 (see [UNICODE] and 
[ISO10646]).
