vertically tiling cell background

[dragonfly]

Hi.
I know this is probably answered somewhere on the forum, but i can't find it.

I'm trying to acheive the common effect of vertically tiling a cell bg image on either side of my table so that when it scales with content, the graphics on either side tile accordingly.

background="images/layout_08_rightbit.gif <-- this works in safari and firefox but not in ie6.

What works in all these browsers, or do i need to do something else for this?

Thank you kirupians

EDIT: I've looked at some other sites and saw ppl using "background=..." in table cells, and it works in the browsers im concerned with. So now i'm more confused...
