Is it possible to set an overflow hidden or visible for a table td that works in the vertical direction?

You will have to wrap the contents of td in a div and set its width and height, I will not hide the contents of the overflow.

You can use overflow-y: hidden;
max-width css td , div
td { max-width: 100px; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; }
IE html, IE ( IE9)
<!--[if IE]> <style> table { table-layout: fixed; } </style> <![endif]-->
