Dear Sven,
also <td height="600"> works fine, and allows to have all pages that are
"shorter" than 600 px to look the same, whereas the others are rendered as
they are.
A percentage is more dynamic but makes appearance change in all pages (80%
of each different height).
Anyway, let the user choose the best one! ;-)
Bye
Stefano
