help with manipulating tables

Am I missing something,becasue I when I try to insert a background image inside a table it doesn't work.I can easily do the bgcolor,but thats boring.I dont think my instructor covered this aspect in my college class,Anyone know?

Use the <table background="images/background.gif"> tag - I think it works in a table tag; if not just nest the table within a table cell and use <td background="images/background.gif"> - that definitely works.

True. One thing to point out is that the background will start patterning itself over in each cell.

I don't know if this makes sense to you, but... it's something to keep in mind

I haven't had a chance to try that tip out,yet but I will here shortly.But yeah ,for this particular table that's exactly what I want it to do is create a tile effect.
