When W3Cing the HTML of my website it gives me an error that completely dumbfounds me, how could I fix it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Line 104, column 31: there is no attribute "BACKGROUND"

<td rowspan="4" background="/images/borderbg.gif"></td>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't use tables?

the background attribute isn't standard. use css.

Code:

td {
background: url(/images/borderbg.gif);
}

class it if it's only a particular cell you want to have a background.

Alternatively use in-line css...

Code:

<td style="background: url(/images/borderbg.gif);" >

But smallbeers' better.
