Stretch a <TABLE> background image to fill the entire cell

[Water Cooler v2]

I want to stretch the image so that it fills the entire cell width and
height. How do I do that?

<TD background="bg.gif" width="100%" height="100%">

So far I have done that but it doesn't seem to work. I think the height
and width get applied to the cell instead of the image. Is there a way
around this?

I've also used the background-repeat style and set it to no-repeat. But
I want to stretch the image. Is there an HTML way to do it?

Background images don't scale in current versions of CSS. Something might be
possible in CSS 3.

As a horrible hack it may be possible to scale a foreground image and use
z-index to position it behind content - but this tends to lead to nasty
results when CSS is unavailable.

Browsers suck at scaling images anyway.

Thank you.
