BACKGROUND NN n/a IE 3 HTML n/a
BACKGROUND="URL" Optional
Specifies an image file that is used as a backdrop to the table. Unlike normal images that get loaded into browser content, a background image loads in its original size (without scaling) and tiles to fill the available table space. Smaller images download faster but are obviously repeated more often in the background. Animated GIFs are also allowable, but very distracting to the reader. When selecting a background image, be sure it is very muted in comparison to the main content so that the content stands out clearly. Background images, if used at all, should be extremely subtle.
Example
<TABLE BACKGROUND="watermark.jpg">...</TABLE>
Value
Any valid URL to an image file, including complete and relative URLs.
Default None.
