Hmm, I gave this a try. Setting height stretches the table rows out vertically if there are less records than the height. I tried putting a fixed height div around the table and not setting a height on the tbody, but then the tbody overflow-y never kicks in. Hmm.
you could use max-height: 799px; instead of height: 799px;
Also, if I set the height of the tbody and the overflow-y does kick in, then the scrollbar eats horizontal space in the rightmost col, which means that I need to style that col to allow for it. Either way: if the scrollbar were to show outside the table I'd need to allow room for it, but just bringing it up as a caveat.
try overflow-y: scroll; rather than overflow-y: auto; you'll get the scrollbar area whether it's needed or not, but at least it will be consistent.
