Slices in Photoshop...

I've been playing around with slices in Photoshop, I madea test website but when I try to put text into a slice after changing it to background (from <img src="imgname"> to <td background="imgname". Then when I do that the image fucks up and its like..bleh lemme fukcin put a picture i can't explain it...

Ok heres the slice when it's HTML is <img src="image name here"...>


And here it is when I change its HTML to <td background="image name here"...>


Any ideas?

Hmm, use CSS?
<td style="background-color:black;background-image:url(image url here);color:white;">
The color descriptor is the font color, BTW.
