Well, you can specify a height with the CSS height property, but then you
need to use the overflow property to specify what to do when there isn't
room in the box for the text. The only sensible option is to add
scrollbars, and that's a terrible design. Users with nice large windows
like not having to scroll as much, giving them a tiny box will annoy many
of them.
To complicate matters, overflow doesn't play nicely with table data cells,
so if you continue abusing tables in the fashion you have to jump through
more hoops too add meaningless extra markup to set the height and overflow
on.
