In Firefox 3.5.8 on Windows, I get a vertical scrollbar when I use this HTML: 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Haloooo1 - T3</title>
<style type="text/css">
  html, body, div {height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
  #main {
    width: 320px;
    background:#7C7497;
    height : 100%;
    margin: 0 auto;
  }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id='main'>
<p>Hello</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

alt text

    Add this:

    p {margin: 0; }

    Your p element has some margin on the top.

    Let me recommend using a CSS reset file. I like the YUI one.
