Inserting A Background Image In A Table Using DW CS4

Hi Adobe Forum,

   Is there a simple way to insert a Background Image Into a Table, just the table, Not The Entire Document Window, Using DW CS4.  I have been spinning my wheels trying to do it.  All I can do is get the Background Image to fill up the entire document window, not just the table.

THanks,

Ken

    <style>

      body {

      width: 85%;

      margin: auto;

      }

      table {

      width: 400px;

      background: url(http://loremflickr.com/320/240);

      }

    I hope you're not using 20th century Tables for your page layout.

    Tables are for tabular data like charts and spreadsheets only.

    Use CSS to create layouts.
