Re: Image as TableBackground?

Yes, use CSS, either with a separate style sheet as James points out, or you
can also do it inline.

Instead of:

 <td background = "image.gif">

use:

 <td style="background-image:url(image.gif)">

Of course, once you may notice that you are sprinkling your HTML with a lot
of style attributes, you may want to simply group them in one place, e.g.:

Instead of:

 <td style="background-image:url(image.gif)">
 <td style="background-image:url(image.gif)">
 <td style="background-image:url(image.gif)">
 <td style="background-image:url(image.gif)">
 <td style="background-image:url(image.gif)">

Simply put a style sheet in your document head which has a rule for applying
background-images to your <td>s

<head><title>....</title>
...
<style type="text/css">
 td { background-image:url(image.gif); }
</style>
</head>

which allows you to minimize your <td>s:

 <td>
 <td>
 <td>
 <td>
 <td>
