Specifying height for a container div, soesn't seem to want to work

the Div CSS in question is:

#main_content{
background:#fff;
min-height: 540px;/* set here min height  */
height: auto !important;/* overwrite the height */
height: 540px;/* this is also the min height for IE */
border:5px solid #999;
width:750px;
}

the div only wants to extend to the amount of content and not to the
height given for the div. An example would be
http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Portfolio.php IAFAIK) this is only
occuring on Mac IE-5.

* IE Mac doesn't support 'min-height'.
* It does support 'height' correctly, and doesn't treat it as 'min-height'.
* AND it will listen to your ---> height: auto !important;

by using the !important statement, you override the next line in your ruleblock.
