Description

In IE, some gadget's heights are calculated incorrectly because element.currentStyle.height doesn't take into account an element's max-height. As a result, a gadget can end up with the full height of some content even though it is contained within a scrollable container with a max-height.

IE9 onward support the standard getComputedStyle function, which behaves the same as in other browsers. This patch adds check for that.
