It's a float clearing issue. You need to properly clear #container because it contains floated elements. This will do the trick:

/*Clearing for Modern Browsers */
#container:after {content:"."; display:block; height:0; font-size:0; line-height:0; clear:both; visibility:hidden;}
/*Clearing for IE6 only*/
* html #container {height:1%;}
/*Clearing for IE7 only*/
*+html #container {min-height:1px;}

Just add any other elements that contain floated elements (typically people have floated content in their footer). I've started adding {line-height:0} to the clearing for modern browsers because Opera sometimes produces some whitespace below a cleared footer because the generated content inherits the line-height.
