The tips are not that different. The background is on the cell, not the
table. You can confine to a particular cell by either inline style on
the cell or by classing the cell and having the bg styling in a separate
style sheet or in a set of style instructions in the head. You might one
day want the same bg in a few different cells... easier to class them
than to style each, especially as you might find you need other styles
to pertaining to this sort of thing...

BTW, p in mine (that I recall) was not so relevant, I used it because
you had one I think and also as a convenient way to prop the cell open
to a set px dimension for the example only.
