Hi

You have height defined on your divs, IE gets height badly wrong and
expands the div regardless of the height value. When height is defined
it should be respected and the browser should allow the contents of the
div to flow outside the div once the height value has been exceded.

You need to be very wary of setting a height on an element when its
contents can be resized.
