How to set maximum height for table-cell?

By CSS 2.1 rules, the height of a table cell is “the minimum height required by the content”. Thus, you need to restrict the height indirectly using inner markup, normally a div element (<td><div>content</div></td>), and set height and overflow properties on the the div element (without setting display: table-cell on it, of course, as that would make its height obey CSS 2.1 table cell rules).
