First off using:
<td background="image.gif">
is deprecated and will not work in future browsers.

CSS is the way to go in this case. You can do an inline style or an external one. I prefer external because I can make a change on one page and it is made on all of the pages.

Here is how to do it.
Inline (in your head tags)
<style>
.back {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
background-image: url(/images/your_image.gif);
background-position : top;
background-repeat : no-repeat;
}
</style>
In your td tag:
<td class="back">

If you wanted to make an external stylesheet, you would make a file with a .css extension and link to it also in your head section like so:
<Link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/stylesheet.css">
