#ParentDiv {
    position:relative;
    height:auto;
}
#ChildDiv {
    position:absolute;
    /* top/left/right force it to dimensions of parent, if needed */
    top:0;
    left:0;
    right:0;
    height:100%;
}

Your ParentDiv height is AUTO , therefore the child force the Parent DIV to Expand to 100% of the Browser Height. Remove auto from the Parenet DIV. Your Problem will be solved.

Set positions on both.

#ParentDiv {
    position:relative;
    height:auto;
}

#ChildDiv {
    position:absolute;
    /* top/left/right force it to dimensions of parent, if needed */
    top:0;
    left:0;
    right:0;
    height:100%;
}

The parent will stretch to fit the child.
