N00b question - Setting Table Heights

Question

I have a table inside a layer, i want to set that table to
have lets say 10 columns and i want the entire table height to be
100 px.
What happens is that the table doesn't change its size, what
happens is that the table is larger then the div itself in the
page.
So how do i change it and limit the table height as I wish?

Answer 1

Shrinking a container will not force the contents to also
shrink. A table's
height is determined by its contents, no matter what the
height of the
table's container is.
Just for the record, table height is invalid HTML (always has
been), and
will be ignored by modern browsers on pages that have valid
and complete
doctypes.
