Image Widths in Tables

I have an image inside an embedded table cell, that I'd like to have the
width set to a percentage of the cell.  The code I'm currently using is
       <TD>
          some text here
        <BR>
         <IMG SRC="images/lines/l_purple.jpg" WIDTH="90%" HEIGHT=2
BORDER=0
          ALT=" ">
       </TD>


In IE this works fine, however in NN it just displays a grey line
(similar to a <HR>) of
the required width and height, rather than the image (which is a 1x1
purple dot).

If I change the code to

      <IMG SRC="images/lines/l_purple.jpg" WIDTH=500 HEIGHT=2 BORDER=0
       ALT=" ">

NN displays it perfectly - however this doesn't allow for different
screen resolutions which
is why I went with a % rather than pixel width.

Is this just a difference in the way IE and NN treat tables, or is there
something I should add/delete to the above code?

Thanks in advance
