You can do something like this in Mozilla/Firebird:

tbody{ height: 300px; scroll: auto;}

But MSIE doesn't honor it. In fact, if you did nothing else, MSIE would
cause each TR to *inherit* the 300px height! (Not pretty.) You can get MSIE
back to square one by also including:

tr{height: auto;}

But if MSIE represents a heavy percentage of your target audience, this
isn't much of a solution. :-<
