If you mean can you stop text resizing in Firefox even though the user
types CTRL+ or CTRL- , than the short answer is No.

Hi
The user can override your font settings on any browser, as they should.
For instance, I stop people making text smaller than 12px (because of
my eyesight), which makes those 1px font size workarounds for image
replacement look quite funny.

Yeah, I knew they could overwrite my settings with a customised stylesheet,
but I didn't realise that just CTRL+ would overwrite stylesheet settings on
Firefox.
Well, good to know!

Use onclick to set the ID of the relevant rows to display:none; or something along these lines. There's no way that I'm aware of to remove this content without _javascript_, short of doing server-side processing.

You can't.
The point of using a background image is that the image is purely
decorative, not content.
In this case, I think the IMG tag needs to be used.

One doesn't. However, one might set the alt attribute of the button.

If you mean a *css* background image than it has no semantic meaning and
therefore needs no alt information (nor could you add any alt
information to a css created background image if you wanted to anyway)

To go with CSS rather than Javascript, you can use a transparent image and
swap its background.
