Mixing TABLE tags and DIV tags has been well known to cause a lot of unnecessary problems. Give this a try and let me know how you go. I will work with this code as well to see if i can help get this problem solved.
Richie, thanks again Buddy for helping me out. I really need to have the id tag within a table cell because, #1, I am not that good at CSS yet, and 2#, I am gonna be replacing a ton of images in one table at the click of a button, changing up the entire look of a page.
Your solution didn't work as I had hoped it would.. however, something DID happen and suddenly I am seeing the images in my browser! It seems to work in both IE and Firefox! I've updated the files on my server.
I THINK it was a

Hi Beeej21 -
These guys seem to be doing a pretty good job of taking care of you - let me just throw in a quick suggestion.
Whenever you're using a table cell background to display an image, it's ALWAYS a good idea to fill the space with something. As I'm sure you'll recall from basic HTML, an empty td is a nonexistent td when it comes to displaying in your browser. Go with Nichito's suggestion and place " " between your opening and closing td tags.
Also - I don't mean to insult your intelligence in anyway - but double-check the route to the image file. I find that this practice actually solves 85-90% of the problems that my Web Design 1 students have with their pages as they learn HTML and CSS.
Best of luck!

Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.
