Like follows:

  <table background="picture.gif">
  <!-- or -->
  <td background="picture.gif">

It's that simple.

, is that it, i'm kinda dissapointed i thought it would be harder, how do i set the height of the cell/row as well

Depends on what browser your using. For IE, you'd have to have something in the cell, a space would do, then just do:

<td width="100" height="100">&nbsp;</td>

FYI, a td background, surprise surprise, doesn't work in NS4, only a table background does.

I thought you said "screw NS4" in another thread...change your mind already?

ok, just take a look @ this:

will display "image1.gif" behind all text in cell-1, and will tile itself when image is smaller than the cell

<table>
<tr>
  <td background="image1.gif">
    Cell1
  </td>
  <td">
    Cell2
  </td>
</tr>
</table>

This however will spread the image throughout the entire table, and also tiles itself ....

<table background="image1.gif">
<tr>
  <td>
    Cell1
  </td>
  <td">
    Cell2
  </td>
</tr>
</table>

hope this is of some help

yeh, but i went into a bit more detail "Paxthegreat" doesnt seem like he knows much HTML and if i can remember when i was like that i couldnt remember how to do tables correctly unless i was looking @ the code.
