Setting background images inside of table cells

I can't seem to get a response to my long question.. probably because I made it
way to confusing, so I'll try to make it a little simpler. How do you set up
Background images inside of table cells and use the no-repeat; command? I know
how to do it in page properities to the entire document, but is there a way to
set it up inside table cells? I have 2 images inside seperate table cells, and
they either shrink if the browser window is to small, or they repeat if the
window is larger. I don't understand this because I have a fixed image at
width "221" and my table cell is set to width "221", so naturally I would think
that it would display the entire image one time, and thats it, but this is not
the case. Any help would be appreciated. I'm using Dreamweaver 8.

thanks,

p.s. WYSIWG is definately not the case... because what I see inside
dreamweaver is never the same as what I get in the browser.. I don't know if I
have it set up wrong or what, but it's extremely frustrating.

There's no such thing on the Web, anyway.
If you post a link to the page in question, you're much more likely to get a
helpful response. Without a link, we'd be mostly guessing.

Hi
I would do this using CSS, name the table call you want ie give the table an
ID for example cellBackground or something, then create css for that particular
table cell id #cellBackground then go to background image apply it and select
no repeat.
Done
Cheers
