Well - if this would be a real test the correct answer would have been:
I can't do it like that, since the whole table stuff is just weird and
deprecated as well.

This is the same thing with modern XHTML styleable with CSS:

temp.navi.1 = TMENU
temp.navi.1 {
    wrap = <ul class="navi">|</ul>
    NO {
        wrapItemAndSub = <li>|</li>
        linkWrap = <span class="bluearrow">|</span>
    }
}

If you still prefer the table style:

temp.navi.1 = TMENU
temp.navi.1 {
    wrap (
<table>
    <tr>|</tr>
</table>
    NO {
        allWrap (
<td class="size128">
    <table class="perc100">
        <tr>|</tr>
    </table>
</td>
)
        beforeImg = images/blue-arrow.gif
        beforeWrap =<td class="perc10">|</td>
        linkWrap = <td class="perc90">|</td>
    }
}

BTW:
If you try 10% of 128px you will get 12.8px which is not possible to
display.
Try usig fixed values for the cells since you are already using them for the
surrounding table.
This way you can get rid of one table:

temp.navi.1 = TMENU
temp.navi.1 {
    wrap (
<table>
    <tr>|</tr>
</table>
    NO {
        beforeImg = images/blue-arrow.gif
        beforeWrap =<td class="width13">|</td>
        linkWrap = <td class="width115">|</td>
    }
}

Its up to you to create the corresponding CSS files now  ;-)
