height for td works like min-height   td     height  100px      instead of   td     min-height  100px      Table cells will grow when the content does not fit   https   jsfiddle net qz70zps4

The solution without div is used a pseudo element like   after into first td in row with min-height  Save your HTML clean   table tr td first-child  after      content         display  inline-block     vertical-align  top     min-height  60px

Simply use the css entry of min-height to one of the cells of your table row  Works on old browsers too    rowNumberColumn       background-color   e6e6e6      min-height  22      lt table width  100   cellspacing  0  class  htmlgrid-table  gt       lt tr id  tr 0  gt               lt td width  3   align  center  class  readOnlyCell rowNumberColumn  gt 1 lt  td gt               lt td align  left  width  40   id  td 0 0  class  readOnlyCell gContentSection  gt 411978430-Intimate Ruby Small lt  td gt

In CSS 2 1  the effect of  min-height  and  max-height  on tables  inline tables  table cells  table rows  and row groups is undefined   So try wrapping the content in a div  and give the div a min-height jsFiddle here  lt table cellspacing  quot 0 quot  cellpadding  quot 0 quot  border  quot 0 quot  style  quot width 300px quot  gt       lt tbody gt           lt tr gt               lt td gt                   lt div style  quot min-height  100px  background-color   ccc quot  gt                      Hello World                    lt  div gt               lt  td gt               lt td gt                   lt div style  quot min-height  100px  background-color   f00 quot  gt                      Good Morning                    lt  div gt               lt  td gt           lt  tr gt       lt  tbody gt   lt  table gt

Tables and table cells don t use the min-height property  setting their height will be the min-height as tables will expand if the content stretches them

User · Answer

if you set style  height 100px   on a td if the td has content that grows the cell more than that  it will do so no need for min height on a td
