Using max-height instead of height does not show scrollbar

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Instead of height: XXXpx, use max-height: XXXpx in the body area
2. Even though the content is hidden in what would be the scrollable area, 
the scrollbar does not appear

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: No scrollbar unless max-height reached, then scrollbar. Seen: No 
scrollbar regardless of height setting.

What version of the jScrollPane are you using? On what browser? And 
operating system?

Latest version from project, IE 8 and Firefox 3.6, WinXP Pro

Setting max-height is not supported. As mentioned in the documentation, you 
have to
set a static height on the element you convert to a jScrollPane for it to work 
reliably.

I have assigned this as a feature request and may investigate in future to see 
what
would be necessary to make this work...

I have just announced the beta of a completely rewritten version of jScrollPane:

Please test and reply on the list if you are still having this issue,

Thanks,

I think of this more as a bug rather than a feature request. Enhancing look of 
a scrollbar via jScrollPane should not break the default functionality provided 
by all modern browsers. Here I have put a test sample together:
