What's the HTML code to have a background within a table/cell?

I created a website in PSD and it optimized it for the web and laid it out in tables. I'm trying to make this page look seamless so I want to set the images as backgrounds within the table so I can overlay them with highlightable text so search engines will pick it up. I can't seem to figure it out, so any help or nudge in the right direction would be great :-D.

Thanks in Advance!

What's the HTML code to have a background within a table/cell?scroll boxes for myspace myspace.com

the code is:

%26lt;table bgcolor="the color name or color hexadecimal code"%26gt;

example : %26lt;table bgcolor="red"%26gt; or %26lt;table bgcolor="#ffff00"%26gt;

you may apply that same syntax for td or tr in table structure.

hope that helps !
