I have a Table element in some cells I sometimes show a very large text so the cell grows in High, I had thought to put a fixed stop and show a tooltip to see all the contents of the cell. I've tried with style="table-layout: fixed", I've also put style="height: 5px;" for each, but I still do not achieve the desired effect. Attached capture.
Good hope this helps you
The td can not be block objects that some properties do not affect them but to solve that you have to put the information inside a container in this case a p and to the properties you want
table td p{
height: 50px;
overflow:auto;
background: rgb(237, 237, 237);
}<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>texto</th>
<th>texto2</th>
<th>texto3</th>
<th>texto4</th>
</tr>
