You can make backgrounds stick with javascript. Check out
this link . Im not sure if it will work within a TD, but it is worth a try.
It is really easy to do with CSS too. First set your backgound image using style="CSS stuff" or, define it in the head or other file. In that put this:
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> background-image: url(
ADDRESSTOIMAGE); background-repeat:
REPEAT-TYPE; </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">ADDRESSTOIMAGE should be replaced with... thats right, the address to the image. and Repeat type can be replaced with no-repeat, repeat-x, repeat-y to prevent from tiling, or just horizontal/vertical tiling.
