Table with Vertical Scrollbar

I wanted to have the scrollbar in my table inside my web page instead of extending the page making it longer when I have plenty of text...
This is what I have at the moment:

You can not with TABLE Element, You do can with DIV

<div style="overflow: scroll/auto/hidden;"></div>

scroll always prints both the vertical and the horizontal scroll-bars
auto makes one or the others or both to appear as soon as content grows;
hidden always prevent both scroll-bars from appearing.

DIV can either contain a TABLE (as code below) and be contained in a TD table-cell.
If DIV inside a table at whichsoever level of the document, HEIGHT You want to assign to a <div style="overflow: ;"> gets fooled if given in % percentuage; still works fine in pixel, instead.
With DIV beeing just contained in BODY Element directly, this issue does not occur.

Process this:
