<TD>, CSS and Firefox

I have having two problems with the <TD>, CSS, Firefox combination. I
would greatly appreciate any information on fixing them.

Firstly, none of the padding or margin values I apply to a <TD> have
any visual effect. Everything is fine in IE.

Secondly, I am trying to set the background-image of a particular <TD>
to an image, and that's not working either. Applying it to the parent
<TR> works, as does applying it to other <TD>s in the document. The
image will display if inserted with an img tag. There are no classes
applied to any of the cell's parents.

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="220"><img src="images/header_small.gif" width="219"
height="60"></td>
<td background="images/cloudsandangles.gif"
class="cloudsandangles"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" bgcolor="#1573FF"
background="../Site/images/bargrad.gif"></td>
</tr>
</table>

Again, everything is fine in IE (even without the <td background> )

FYI, in the future, you can find errors like this yourself if you
validate your code.

And indeed, that is the case. Thank you!
