td background images?

[gwrman]

do you know if these (images file name or alts) are given any weiught?

eg

<td background="../images/billiard.gif">

is it even ok to add an alt tag?

would it make any diff if that was named 3948753498.gif??

We're not party to the (constantly changing) algorithms, but it seems extremely unlikely that the names of background images will have any impact on ranking. billiard.gif is probably easier to remember when coding though.

The proper syntax would be:

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

There isn't an [tt]alt[/tt] attribute in <td> elements, it only applies to <img>.
