Actually, I just ran into something today:

I was making full-height columns, with one column and one body text. I gave my column bottom padding:100em/margin:-100em, left the container the way it was, and and set the page’s container to overflow:hidden (no, I have no clue what I was doing). I had some fixed elements, which I had hacked to be absolute, and I put them outside of the inner container.
In IE6, the column wasn’t extending, so I added the same 100 padding/-100 margin to the page’s container.

So here’s the thing: For some reason, it only works when there’s a div or p immediately after the container. If there’s nothing after it (the end body tag comes right then), it’ll have a bunch of scrolling. If the div is there (even an empty tag) there’ll be no extra scrolling and everything will work like it’s supposed to.

I’ve just scanned my CSS, and there’s nothing strange acting on the page container. It worked in all the other browsers without having to do all that oddness.

As we discussed briefly recently: Something I have had trouble doing is converting an unordered list of more than four items into a simple grid, (two columns, multiple rows) without adding any additonal non-semantic markup.

I can send an example later.
