Proper Solution

First of all, you have to specify the width and height of td. Follow the example that will work properly---

<td style="background-image:url(../uploadimages/18-2-2013-23-33-01-Lighthouse.jpg);background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:250px 180px;   width: 250px; height: 180px;"></td>

The td won't show a background image because it hasn't got any content, hence there's no space in the td to draw the background. The background-size sets the size of the background, not the size of the container. Try width:250px;height:180px; in the inline style for the td - it should show the image.

Here's a demonstration in jsfiddle. If you remove the width and height settings from the CSS you won't see the image.
