Table Background Won't Display In IE - Please Help

[lookielookies]

I was experimenting with adding background images to a  HTML table, in order to create a graphical frame for my widget.

 

But... there must be something wrong with my code, 'cos the background image in the left table column won't display in IE. In Firefox, everything looks OK.

 

Could someone please take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong?  ???

 

This is what it looks like (open the link both in Firefox and IE to see the difference):

Here's the code:

 

<table width="150" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td colspan="3"><div align="left"><img src="http://www.thenichegiveaway.com/widget/images/frame/top.gif" width="150" height="88" /></div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td rowspan="3" background="http://www.thenichegiveaway.com/widget/images/frame/left.gif" width="7"></td>
    <td width="136"><div align="center"><iframe align="middle" frameborder="0" src="http://www.thenichegiveaway.com/PageTimerInstall/index.php"  width="136"height="237"></iframe></div></td>
    <td width="5" rowspan="3" background="http://www.thenichegiveaway.com/widget/images/frame/right.gif"> </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#FFCC00"><marquee>
      <div align="center"><span class="style8">Come Back Tomorrow For Another Free Download</span>        </div>
    </marquee></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#3399CC"><br /><div align="center"><span class="style1"><u><a href="http://www.thenichegiveaway.com/members.php?id=${config.affiliateid}" target="_blank" style="color: #FFFFFF">The Niche Giveaway</a></u></span></div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="3"><div align="left"><img src="http://www.thenichegiveaway.com/widget/images/frame/bottom.gif" width="150" height="22" /></div></td>
  </tr>
</table>

 

 

 

Greetz!

Try this:

<table width="150" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" background="path to your image">
