Problem with Repeating Background Image

All of my attempts to use standard (no-repeat instructions) have failed. I cannot seem to stop the image repeating. Would love suggestions!

Here is the current code:

<body>
<table style="border-collapse: collapse;" height="298" width="692" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" bordercolor="#cccccc" border="1"><tbody><tr bgcolor="#ffffff"><td width="100%" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff" background="http://app.icontact.com/icp/loadimage.php/mogile/325776/ea4f78f09fd7226594a164afca4f416b/image/jpeg">
<div align="center"></div>

I believe the issue may actually be with the design ap (icontact - an online newsletter distribution program), but it does have a straight HTML coding option???

A browser's default action is to repeat an image. That's why, when putting in background images, you should use CSS. Lots more control. Would be better if you used div tags along with CSS, but change this:

Thanks for the reply... only this results in the image being left out all together and the page is left with a bare white background.

Would you have any other suggestions?

My mistake. Change "style="width: 100%" " to "style="width: 100%;". Quote messing up code.

Should look like this after corrected:

Ok so the image is in & it is not repeating. Yeah!

One catch. It does not wish to align to the top (there is two to three lines of white, prior to the image commencing... and... something odd: after inserting your last html fix the code corrects (or in-corrects in this case) itself automatically, to look like this:

<td style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255) url(http; width: 100%; height: 433px; vertical-align: top; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;">

I enter your html, the code above replaces it???
