Ok, I've been working on your page.
About your problem with the background: I don't see it anywhere in your code for your page you have listed on your profile. That's maybe not where you need it ;)
It should work fine though because the rest of your page works fine linking the way you do. The best thing would be to see the page you have your background problem on.
For your current code, I'm not sure how it looks on IE since IE on this computer doesn't work but I noticed a few things:
You had a few tags that were open like <div> but never closed: </div>
For your border around things, you can just put:
border:1px dashed magenta
and that will put the border all around your cell.
All your CSS stuff has to go in between your <head> and </head> . You only need one <style> tag and then at the end of all your css stuff, put the </style>
The font you chose on your css, most people probably don't have it on their computer. A back up font would be good like verdana, tahoma, serif, arial..
I think there is more but here is what I did. I figured you wanted it for a 1024 res so that's what I did. People on 800 will have to scroll (but we're used to it ;) )
