Internet Explorer bug with tall block
The problem of IE with two containers mentioned in Overflow of inner block article is not solved completely. If the internal container is longer than one screen of browser you'll encounter another problem. Look at this effect
As you can see IE doesn't draw the border of container. U can solve it by giving the background to the parent container. If you don't want the background then paint it to the color of whole page. In this case I added a white background to the above mentioned #content because all page is white. It will force IE to paint whole parent container.
#content{
border: blue 3px solid;
padding: 0.5em;
display:block;
background-color:white;
}
Note that this solution checked only with "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" Document Type Definition. On "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" it doesn't work.Therefore If you encounter the same problem change your DTD to <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
