Assigning a height and overflow:visible will cause the contents to overlap the bottom edge of the containing element, not a good look.
IE treats height as min-height anyway, stretching a parent element to fit its children.
The workaround for this is to take advantage of one of IE's many bugs to send a height to it specifically, and provide min-height to everything else.
Here's an example


* html body #container {height:20em;} /*--Only IE pretends that there is another element outside html, all other browsers know better. */

#container {min-height:20em;}

Too easy :D
