Hey now used to after properties in your css

<div id="post1_img"></div>

Css

 #post1_img
 {
    width:280px;
height:33px;
background:url(http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/9932debdde3decc7726b508f43d57438?s=32&d=identicon&r=PG) no-repeat top center;
clear:both;
    border:1px solid black;
    position:relative;
  }


 #post1_img:after{
content:'';
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:50%;
margin-left:-16px;
width:32px;
height:33px;
cursor:pointer;    
}

You cannot put a class name to a background image only html elements, but there are some work arounds. I would suggest you put the image in a div and use cursor:pointer; and position: absolute; and set the z-index: -1; and layer another div over it.

Now that I see your update and screen shot, all you have to do is float an absolute div over the section of the page with something like:

#bgmask{
    width:70px;
    height:70px;
    position: absolute;
    right:10%;
    top: 0;
    z-index:999;
    cursor:pointer;
}

You put cursor: pointer in your CSS class post1_img and then you put cursor: <something else> in the style/CSS of everything that's inside it.

Example, if your DIV contains just a form (so everything is an input element of different type):

#post1_img {
    cursor:pointer;
    width:280px;
    height:33px;
    background:url(../images/assets/pullTab-readMore-off-.png) no-repeat top center;
    clear:both;
}

#post1_img input {
     cursor: auto; /*just an example*/
}

As for giving a class name for the background, it's not possible because the background is not an HTML element per-se.

EDIT: Fixed the cursor in the second css block

you can put the background image as an background of a div which has the same dimension with the image. then place this div centered inside another div.

<div id="outer">
  <div id="post1_img">
   </div>
</div>

//css
#post1_img{
   width:70px;
   cursor:pointer;
   background:url(pullTab-readMore-off-.png) no-repeat top center;
   /*you need more css here to adjust this div to be center of the outer div*/
}
#outer{
   width:280px;
}

//jquery
$('#post1_img').click(function(){
    //do something
});
