sounds like:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td background="grid.gif">
      <table bgcolor=red>
	 <tr><td>&nbsp;<td>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Which should work fine. Tables are easy to mess up. Do you have a URL to
share?

A demonstration that this *can* work is this page:

blue color which is overridden by an internal table with a bgcolor of
white. Works fine in Netscape 4.x.
