setting a cell background image - html tag attribute vs css inline method

message from mr_burns on 25 Jul 2004
hi,

<td background="cell_bg.gif">

sometimes, however, i have noticed in some computers the browser
(msie) doesnt display unless i use the following css method:

<td style="background-image: url(cell_bg.gif');">

what is the reasons perhaps for this? the reason i ask is because in
dreamweaver, when setting through the properties inspector, it uses
the html tag method. should i manually insert the css method or can
dreamweaver be set to use the css method or even better, both? cheers

burnsy
