I am trying to build a html table but I want to force all rows to have the same height (no matter how much content is in the cells). If a cell overruns the space, I want it to just cut off the text and hide the rest.
Is this possible using CSS, etc?

#fixedheight {
table-layout: fixed;
}
#fixedheight td {
height: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 25%;
} <table id="fixedheight">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>lots of content that should spend way more time wrapping down than it should if I were just to have a short bit of stuff, that would be invaded by zombies and the such</td>
<td>more content</td>
<td>small content</td>
<td>enough already</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table> #fixedheight {
table-layout: fixed;
}
#fixedheight td {
width: 25%;
}
#fixedheight td div {
height: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
}
<table id="fixedheight">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<div>content</div>
</td>
<td>
<div>lots of content that should spend way more time wrapping down than it should if I were just to have a short bit of stuff, that would be invaded by zombies and the such</div>
</td>
<td>
<div>more content</div>
</td>
<td>
<div>small content</div>
</td>
<td>
<div>enough already</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<table>Set the CSS height property to what you want the cell heights to be, and use overflow: hidden (see CSS overflow) to prevent contents from expanding the cells.

Give the table a class:
<table class="myTable">...</table>
And in the CSS, try the following:
table.myTable td {
height: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
}
The CSS Styles you will want to set are: display:block, min-height, and max-height.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<title>JS Bin</title>
<style>
html{font-size:16px;}
table{}
table tr{
display:block;
border-bottom:solid green 1px;
height:.8em;
min-height:.8em;
max-height:.8em;
background-color:#E300E3;
overflow:hidden;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table id="MyTable">
<tr><td>16px Font-Size</td><td>Column2</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
