Table backgroud images and browsers

[digi-phil]

Can anyone help i'm pulling my hair out?
I have a simple table that has a background image as a boarder, the image is a 10px x 10px gif which just repeats itself the longer the table gets, this will preview in any browser on any system except IE on a PC, is this a common problem with IE on a PC?

It depends if you have put the background image in a <tr> or a <td>

your code/link please

This is the code:

<tr>
<td valign="top" background="/assets/leftboarder.gif"><img src="/assets/left.gif" width="25" height="210"></td>
<td width="750" height="438">&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top" background="/assets/rightboarder.gif"><img src="/assets/right.gif" width="25" height="210"></td>
</tr>

Seems simple enough??

id have thought setting cellpadding to 10 would do it

Unfortunately setting cellpadding to 10 throws everything out of alignment.
