You need to specify the display. Try display: block;

You have to wrap the table within a DIV to make the max-height working. As bookcasey mentioned max-height for table is undefined in the specification.

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.

Read the spec.

Set the table to display: block if you want to force max-height.
