    Sometimes I place an image in the bg of a cell using the 
    style="background-image:url(images/graphic.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:bottom right;"
    HTML:
    code for instance and I wondered if you can add the alt and title tags to this css to help with seo?

    Thanks

    its an attribute, not a tag.

    No, it cannot be added to background images.

    It's a graphic, not content like an <img> element is.

    Define 'cell' - as in a table cell (TD)?

    If you are talking anchors or headers, I'd suggest a image replacement technique.

    If you want a tooltip to appear, add title="text to be displayed here" to the element containing the background image.

    Like so:
    
<div id="background-image-container" title="Text to be displayed goes here."></div>
    Code (markup):
    But as deathshadow said, I'd go with an image replacement technique, or actually use an image if the image being used is non-presentational in nature.
