CSS - Linear Gradient Background Color no-repeat is not working for <tr> if it has multiple tds

Question

I want to apply css3 gradient (left and right transparent) background color for a TR element like below.

Below code is working fine if it has only one TD element, where as more than one td, background gradient started repeating for each td...

Am I missing something?
