title: CSS how to make <TD> a fixed height?
body: <pre><code>&lt;table  cellspacing="0" id="contactTable" style="table-layout:table-layout:fixed;; width:100%; font-weight:normal; position: absolute; top:45; left: 0;"&gt;
  
  &lt;td height="50" style="padding-left:5px; overflow:hidden; "&gt;
      &lt;span style="text-transform:capitalize;line-height:100%;"&gt;
      //names here
      &lt;/span&gt;                          
      &lt;/td&gt;
  
  ...more code
  &lt;/table&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This doesn't work. Overflow is still making the cell taller, height is addapting to content.</p>
