Problem - Need Tables Experts' Help..!

Question

Could someone who's well-versed in TABLE-ese tell me why the
following
rounded-corner box code renders beautifully in IE7, but not
in FF2?
The main hiccup is that the first and last row won't accept a
7 pixel
height, for whatever reason. All the more perplexing is the
absence of text
or even  's to muck things up. Just cells &
images (aside from the main
center cell).
PS: If you're someone who despises tables and just clicked on
this post to
tell me to stop using them, please don't bother.
Code :
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="7" height="7" bgcolor="#FF0000"><img
src="/images/box01TL.png" alt="" width="7" height="7"
/></td>
<td height="7"
background="/images/box01T.png"></td>
<td width="7" height="7"><img
src="/images/box01TR.png" alt="" width="7"
height="7" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td background="/images/box01L.png"></td>
<td background="/images/box01C.png" width="100%">
MAIN TEXT HERE
</td>
<td background="/images/box01R.png"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="7" height="7"><img
src="/images/box01BL.png" alt="" width="7"
height="7" /></td>
<td background="/images/box01B.png"></td>
<td width="7" height="7"><img
src="/images/box01BR.png" alt="" width="7"
height="7" /></td>
</tr>
</table>

Far be it for me to tell someone how to do things. But I
believe you will
get better cross-browser rendering with CSS and the rounded
corners code
found here: www.roundedcornr.com/
It creates the CSS, html code and images for you. Take a test
drive.
