Regression for issue 263 (IE9 overflow:auto causes container div to grow on hover)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'd like to ask for this issue to be reopened, since there is a regression. 

Using the current release (jquery.dynatree-1.2.5-all.zip) I have the following 
issue:

The tree div expands to the height of the screen, which breaks the layout of 
the page. It also causes a vertical scroll bar to appear, since the browser 
window is lower than the div. The height is the same until I add more nodes, 
and the div needs even more height. 

The problem can be reproduced with the "4.2.6 Initializing the tree structure 
programmatically" example, using the includes from "3. Quick start" in 
"dynatree-doc.html"

The issue can be observed with IE10 (Windows Vista), Opera 18 (Android), Chrome 
31 (Android, Windows Vista, and Linux 32bit), and the Android 4.04 standard 
browser (AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.30).

In these browsers mentioned above the div expands as expected if I remove the 
setting *height: 100%* from the IE9 fix.

Opera 12.16 (Linux 32bit), and Firefox 26 (Linux 32bit) tolerate the IE9 fix. 
All the browsers I testes work OK when I remove the *height* property. I 
couldn't test IE9, though. 

Proposed correction: remove the IE9 fix. An alternative fix for the IE9 might 
work with browser detection (a line of jQuery code should do it).

could you send a sample file (or make a fiddle) to reproduce?

I came across the original issue while investigating a similar problem.  I 
don't know if this will help, but I found an alternative fix to the original 
IE9 problem. Rather than setting "height: 100%", simply set "min-height: 0%" to 
prevent the div from growing unexpectedly.
