My table consists of three cells with widths of 30%, 40%, and 30% respectively. The table itself occupies 25% of its container, which can range from 1024px to 400px.
The first cell contains a button labeled GALLERY. Upon hovering over the cell, the text changes to "<" using jQuery.
The issue arises when the table is compressed (container smaller than 600px) and I hover over the GALLERY button. The width of the cell changes due to the text being replaced by "<", causing the mouseover area to shift and the cell to flicker between hover states.
The cell's width is fixed, there are no padding or margins, and overflow:hidden is applied.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this? The same problem occurs with the third cell as well.
This issue only seems to occur in Firefox.

jQuery
$('td.back').hover(
function() {
$(this).empty().html('<').addClass("hover");
},
function() {
$(this).empty().html('GALLERY').removeClass("hover");
});
