Answering animuson: actually the following code is necessary for IE6 support:

min-height: 100%; /* real browsers */
height: auto !important; /* real browsers */
height: 100%; /* IE6: treated as min-height*/

IE6 doesn't understand !important, but it does treat height as min-height. So to support both IE6 and modern browser you have to use the exact same code (order is important).
