Pseudo selectors does not work when applying linear gradients - html

Question

I am using simple pseudo-selector css functionlity. When I hover over my table-cells, they change background color, simple. But when the original background color of the table cells are of linear gradient, the td:hover does not work anymore. Here is my code:
CSS:
#rightDiv td{
font-size: 18px;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 10px 5px;
/*background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);*/
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(55,160,252,1) 0%, rgba(8,126,216,1) 46%, rgba(28,97,175,1) 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,rgba(55,160,252,1)), color-stop(46%,rgba(8,126,216,1)), color-stop(100%,rgba(28,97,175,1))); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(55,160,252,1) 0%,rgba(8,126,216,1) 46%,rgba(28,97,175,1) 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, rgba(55,160,252,1) 0%,rgba(8,126,216,1) 46%,rgba(28,97,175,1) 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, rgba(55,160,252,1) 0%,rgba(8,126,216,1) 46%,rgba(28,97,175,1) 100%); /* IE10+ */
background: linear-gradient(top, rgba(55,160,252,1) 0%,rgba(8,126,216,1) 46%,rgba(28,97,175,1) 100%); /* W3C */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#37a0fc', endColorstr='#1c61af',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-8 */
border: 1px solid #444444;
}
#rightDiv td:hover{
color: #444444;
background: rgba(255,255,255,0.4);
border: 1px solid #999999;
text-decoration: none;
}
#rightDiv a{
color: #fff;
}
#rightDiv a:hover{
color: #444444;
}
HTML:
<div id="rightDiv">
<table width="100%" height="100%">
<tr><td>Our Plans</td></tr>
<tr><td>Our tariffs vs local mobile</td</tr>
<tr><td>Our service vs other VoIP</td></tr>
<tr><td>Our tariffs vs Skype</td></tr>
<tr><td>Tariff lookup</td></tr>
<tr><td>Become an Agent/Franchisee</td></tr>
</table>
</div>
Any suggestions on why the linear gradient breaks my pseudo classes?
Thank You

I set this up on JSFiddle, and it seems everything is working correctly as expected. http://jsfiddle.net/syjcE/
The only thing that I see is that you're setting the td:hover background color to white (background: rgba(255,255,255,0.4);). All I did was change the background color to an actual color so that you can see it's working.
Please let me know if I misunderstood the issue.
