[Building Sakai] "My Sites" pulldown overflows

[Joshua Swink]

Just to give some closure to this issue, I'll post our solution.

The portal.xslt file in the skin calculates an estimated value for the
height of the box that can be revealed or hidden by clicking on "My
Sites". It passes the value to the animatedcollapse javascript
function, which will use it as the height of the box to be revealed.
But the estimate wasn't very good.

Since animatedcollapse.js will get the height using the HTML DOM, I
disabled the use of the passed value as a quick hack.

The file: reference/library/src/webapp/js/animatedcollapse.js

Line 17 commented out:

//this.contentheight=this.contHeight
