Description

When I attempt to render a <table> as a dialog window, my height:750 parameter seems to be ignored: http://jsbin.com/anosuz/11/edit#preview

Also, here is a $("table").dialog() call where the table is shorter than the parameter, again ignoring the custom height: http://jsbin.com/ukakat/3/edit#preview

Rendering tables inside a <div> tag seems to eliminate this issue, but feels rather kludgy:

Also, here is my workaround where I render an empty dialog and then pull the table into the window as part of the open() callback:

Is this behavioral inconsistency a bug or is this by design?

summary: Height parameter ignored when the selected element is a table → Dialog: Height parameter ignored when the selected element is a table

Overflow: scroll on tables does not work like you want them to. This is a case where the amount of extra code to handle this case is more than its worth. It is very easy to wrap the table in a div and call the dialog on that div and that should solve all the problems that come along with calling dialog on a table.
