As far as I am aware, neither ALT or TITLE text can be set using CSS.
Sorry!

No, remember that CSS is only for defining layout and appearance, not content. Displaying a title would be content. Going from there, you would have to add the title attribute to the tag you want the title to display at, e.g.:
Take Care,
Mike
Code:
<img title="Look at me, I'm a title!">Take Care,
Mike
However, using the DOM and javascript, you can set the title and alt...
function setTitle(){
allTDs = document.getElementsByTagName("td"
for (x=0; x<allTDs.length; x++){
if (allTDs[x].className == "myClass"{
allTDs[x].title = "This is in the class"
}
}
}
<body onLoad="setTitle()">
