You have asked for a 100% height for the <tr>, so what should a browser do
when there are other rows as well? How can it make 60px + 100% + 60px equal
100%?

Omitting that height setting does not help, though. It removes the vertical
scrollbar, but the row heights get a bit wild. IE is not very clever with
tables. So use just CSS with <div> elements as Jonathan suggested.
