What you are probably seeing is IE's broken default overflow behavior,
compared to FF's conformance to the CSS specs. BTW, the default is
overflow:visible.

When you set the height property, IE treats it as min-height instead,
then expands the element as needed to fit the content. This is incorrect
behavior. FF and other conforming browsers restrict the height to the
specified value and let the content "spill out".

If you change that height property to min-height, then conforming
browsers should do the same as IE does now.

Before you do anything, though, validate your HTML and CSS and fix the
errors. That will eliminate syntax errors as a cause of rendering problems.
