Your page is rendered by IE6 in its quirks mode (you have no doctype.) If you add a doctype that puts IE6 in standards mode then your desired effect works. I don't know exactly why, since I never used this, but apparently in quirks mode the html element is not much used by IE. So, especially if you wanto to support IE5, which doesn't know about standards mode, the best thing is probably to use an extra wrapper (as D Ross has already suggested) instead of relying on html/body.
