    It’s because IE has the strange idea that every element should be at least one character high.

    If you add overflow:hidden; to the #top and #bottom styles, that will keep IE from making the element larger than you have specified.

    General tip:
    Adding a proper doctype to the page so that it renders in standards compliant mode helps a lot with how IE renders the page.
