I am trying to validate my page using <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "
This is the error I am receiving, can anyone help?

Line 20, column 61: there is no attribute "BACKGROUND"

... <td width="90%" height="18" valign="middle" background="/images/18.gif">

Technically, that is an invalid attribute. It'll still work, although it is non-standard and may vary between browsers.
See:

You could use css
.tdbkg { background-image: url(/images/18.gif);}

and assign a style
<td class="tdbkg">

among other ways
