I.E. 6 will not display page background

I am developing a website in frontpage 2004. The background on the pages will not show up in IE6. They show up in Mozilla Firefox (default browser). When I open the site in Dreamweaver mx the backgrounds show up ok. In the dreamweaver code window the tag lines are highlighted with the comment "td tag not supported".
Anyone know how to get them to materialize in IE?

Truth fears no questions
If you are using Dreamweaver, click on the code tab and make sure the body tag looks like this:

<body background="URL of picture">

..make sure the URL is a valid one.


If you just want a background color change background to bgcolor


and the td is the table data cell tag. It is used in a table to designate the fields... not sure what that has to do with the background problem you are having..

I am actually using Frontpage but also have Dreamweaver on the network so I was just using it to see if I could identify the problem with I.E. When in IE and select code, the body tag is: body background = background.gif. Does it have to be a complete url when the file "background.gif" is in the web folder and not in a sub folder?
Thanks
