I have a user control (HTML table) within a table. Would it be possible to
cause the user control to scroll its conents when its container is too
small, or will I just have to make its height = 100% so it can't cause its
container to resize too big?

You can put your table (or any control) into a fixed size area by putting it
in a scrollable div such as this:

<div id="Layer1" style="position:relative;width:350px;height:200px; overflow:
scroll;">control goes here</div>

The key is to use the "overflow" CSS attribute.Here's more info:

Another option is to put your control in an IFrame.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.

You may also find this useful. Freeze columns and rows
like Excel but in your html table:
