HTML, <table> background

I've got one problem...

I created table(with one row and one column) for my site and then I put background for table using CSS where I defined image, after that I try to create in the first table another table with 3 rows, Dreamweaver doesn't allow me to do it, it puts new table after first, how can I solve this problem, thanks in advance...

<table width="1158" height="1193" bord开发者_如何学Pythoner="0" align="center" class="img_fixed">
  <tr>
    <td>
        <table width="1000" border="0">
            <tr>
                <th width="1152" height="1189" scope="col"><div align="center"></div></th>
             </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>&nbsp;</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>&nbsp;</td>
             </tr>
        </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>


</table>

It is worked properly what is your problem? I posted the example for that code

<table width="100%" height="300" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="background-image:url(book1.png)">
  <tr>
    <td>
       <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
          <tr>
            <td>1</td>
            <td>2</td>
            <td>3</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>4</td>
            <td>5</td>
            <td>6</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>7</td>
            <td>8</td>
            <td>9</td>
          </tr>
        </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

lego your code must be like this,

<table width="1158" height="1193" border="0" align="center" class="img_fixed">  
  <tr>
    <td>
      <table width="1000" border="0">
        <tr>  
          <th width="1152" height="1189" scope="col"><div align="center"></div></th>
        </tr>
        <tr>  <td>&nbsp;</td>  </tr> 
        <tr>  <td>&nbsp;</td>  </tr>  
      </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
