Unfortunately won't work. NS inherits the table background image, so a 
nested table will have the same background image in each cell as the 
wrapping table. Instead, you have to put a new background on the inner 
table. I suggest using a 10x10 transparent .gif; the larger the better 
(well, up to a certain limit, anyway ;-) so less tiling and rendering is 
involved.
