If I were to implement your design using tables (why use tables?), I would
do the following (implemented more completely):

<style>
.nav {
     background: #fc0 url(fade.gif) repeat-x bottom;
     padding-bottom: 10px;
}
</style>

<table>
   <tr><td class="nav">
     <table>navigation</table>
   </td></tr>
   <tr>
     <td><img src="banner.gif" />
   </tr>
</table>

Especially considering the fade is purely cosmetic, it is best implemented
as a background image for a block rather than inserted inline with no
content value.  Also, this way fade.gif can be 1x10 instead of 720x10,
saving load time.
