running safari at home here so cannot test it.

IE pc has lots of problems rendering certain CSS.

Generally you should always try 2 fixes.

1: give IE a height/width

2: make it position:relative;

so to supply IE only you can use the * html hack.

<css>

* html #content {
height:1px;
}

or 

* html #content {
position:relative;
}

sometimes you have to use both.

You should also hide the above from IE mac.

Hope that is helpful.
