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.
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.
I know this issue has been tackled various ways in table plugins, but I
don't think I've seen a plugin made specifically just for show/hiding a
scrollbar and working around some of these issues. Anyone?
Thanks,
Jack

have you tried overflow-y: auto; ?
This works... (to some degree)
table tbody {
height: 799px;
overflow-y: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
