td {width: 20px}

---------------
<style>
td.left {width: 20px; background-image: url(left_tab.png)}
td.m {background-image: url(middle_tab.png)}
td.right {width: 20px; background-image: url(right_tab.png)}
</style>

In IE following html works fine and td.left & td.right has width 20 pixels.
In Mozilla td.left & td.right dissapear (because they don't have contents)
What I can do for width in Mozilla? I want exactly 20 pixels width
---------------
<table><tr>
<td class=left><td class=m>Tab1<td class=right>
</tr></table>

Perhaps try including &nbsp; in the empty cells? As in:
<table><tr>
<td class="left">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="m">Tab1</td>
<td class="right">&nbsp;</td>
</tr></table>

That doesn't look much like a table to me. Are you sure that there
isn't some other markup that more accurately describes your content?
This may help:

Anyway,

table { empty-cells: show;}

Give them content, even if it's only &nbsp; -- or look into border
properties in CSS.

No, you don't. If you had 20 pixels of content you might, repeat
might, want to specify 20 pixels width; but you told us those
cells have _no_ content. You do not want to be using a table in that
way merely for layout -- and you probably don't want to be doing
your layout in pixels.
