Sorry, your question doesn't make sense. I don't know what you mean
about putting it "into the same field", or what a link has to do with
it.

However, you can certainly use an image as the background for the table
(which *is* only being used for tabular data, isn't it?). Just add the
following to your CSS:

table { background-image: url('path/to/my/image.jpeg');

http://htmldog.com is a good tutorial site.
