Roger is correct if you use "height" on the content DIV, except for 
IE 5.x and 6, which tend to treat "height" similar to "min-height".

Solution: Use 100% on html and body as suggested, then add:

  #wrapper {min-height: 100%;}  /* for modern browsers */
  * html #wrapper {height: 100%;} /* for IE 5 and 6 Win */

(Assuming your centered DIV has an ID of "wrapper".)

Cordially,
David
