Help! Image in table?

I have a Christmas site that I'm about to start an overhaul on. I would like to use the marble background in one column of my table. It looks fine in IE5, but I don't know if it works in all browsers. Also, it doesn't validate in XHTML (there is no attribute "background" ...)

Is there some way to use CSS to have that image in that table column? I can't use it as a background since it will start at the top of the page and mess up my first table.

Thanks,
Deborah

Use it as a background in that cell. Use a class or id to identify the column:

HTML

CSS

#navigationcell {
background-image: url(/graphics/marble.jpg) #eee repeat;
}

hth,

You should also check the CSS Validator for errors. Right now you have 3 errors. You have used "font-weight: heavy" on your h1, h2, and h3 css styles. It should instead be "font-weight: bold" on each of them.
Way to convert to xhtml/css. Site is lookin good!
