This is oh-so-very frustrating.

I've discovered yet another annoyance/bug with how Firefox 3 handles dynamic data within overflowed DIVs.

It seems as though if you set the DIV height to be 100%, Firefox 3 interprets this as "continue to expand even if it means stretching out the height larger than the parent's height is", even when both elements use percentages as height measurements.

This is a problem since both Firefox 2 and Opera (presumably IE as well - I just don't have access to this) render the dimensions properly by always obeying the parent column or div. Firefox 3 basically says "screw the parent element's percentage dimension and let's expand however we want". It's understandable an inline element (such as huge letters, an image, etc) to stretch the height out and disobey the parent, but when the DIV that is stretching is an overflowed DIV, it shouldn't stretch more than the parent's height allows it.

God, I hate Firefox 3.
