It looks as if some of you didn't see my original post in this thread.

Accepting that the "background" attribute in a "table", "tr" or "td" tag is
non-valid HTML, it's possible to get it to work in NN as follows:

Create a "container", single cell table, with the background attribute in
the TD tag.  Place your content in one or more tables nested inside this
single cell, with BACKGROUND="" in the TABLE tag for each one.  That stops
the nested table from "inheriting" the background image from the container
table, but allows the container table background image to show through.

Regards,
Donna
