Corrected coding please for repeating image

Question

I have searched the internet/the tutortials and cannot get the correct coding for a repeat image vertically in a table on the left hand side of the webpage.  I believe the coding should be repeat-y but I tried all the examples and could not get it to work.  I finally found a way to get it on but I know there is better coding.  This is what I have so far:
<tr><th width="526" height="865" valign="top" scope="row"><table width="121" height="864" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
        <tr>
          <th width="121" height="864" valign="top" scope="row"><p><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" /><img src="../Images/border.jpg" width="80" height="80" />

Answer 1

I do not want a complete page covered with this design, merely the left-hand border side.
as mentioned background-repeat:repeat-y; will do just that.
Some of us, especially in this economic times, cannot afford to spend thousands to have a website created, so we do the best we can.  While I agree tables are difficult for they were indeed designed to place data, and I have eliminated tables where ever I could, this was the only way I could get the result needed.
agreed times are tough, but seriously working in tables adds more time, more headaches and therefore costs more money.
Sorry to have bothered you.  Shame Dreamweaver was bought out by Adobe but then, there are other programs; perhaps there forums will have more tolerance for one of us old duffers.
whats with being all touchy? you asked for "correct coding please for repeating image?"
and thats what I gave you.
apart from that I mentioned not to use tables. which is a good thing to take on board.
for example
1. Tables are usually more bytes of markup. (Longer to download, and more bytes of traffic for the host.)
2. Tables usually prevent incremental rendering. (Takes longer for the user to see anything on the page.)
3. Tables may require you to chop single, logical images into multiple ones. (This makes redesigns total hell, and also increases page load time [more http requests and more total bytes].)
4. Tables break text copying on some browsers. (That's annoying to the user.)
5. Tables prevent certain layouts from working within them (like height:100% for child elements of <td>). (They limit what you can actually do in terms of layout.)
6. Once you know CSS, table-based layouts usually take more time to implement. (A little effort up-front learning CSS pays off heavily in the end.)
7. Tables are semantically incorrect markup for layout. (They describe the presentation, not the content.)
8. Tables make life hell for those using screen readers. (Not only do you get the other benefits of CSS, you're also helping out the blind/partially-sighted. This is a Good Thing.)
9. Tables lock you into the current design and make redesigns MUCH harder than semantic HTML+CSS. (Have you seen CSS Zen Garden?)
