Because you have given the #content a height that's not big enough to hold
the text. The text overflows, the box will not grow according to the
specs, as it has a set height. Remove the height, and you're fine. I think
you meant to use min-height, then again, MSIE6 does not know min-height...
It treats height as min-height.
