Ok, so I can't read.. sue me.. lol

img src="background.gif"

If it's a simple gif, make it like 1 by 800 pixels... it will tile (scroll down) on it's own.

You can use background images for :-

1) A whole page...
<BODY BACKGROUND="images/background.jpg">

2) A cell of a table...
<TD BACKGROUND="images/background.gif"

Example 1 will tile (repeat) over the whole page, so the actual size of the image is important.

Example 2 will be constrained by the size of the table cell, but will repeat itself, if smaller than the table cell it is in.

You can also use CSS to show a background only once, like this...
background-image:url(images/bkground.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat;
