Adding the following helps ie/mac and doesn't hurt more standards 
compliant browsers.  It may trigger ie/win bugs, so test.  Be aware 
that ie/mac also sees the '* html" selector so it is getting some 
ie/win bug fixes that it doesn't need.

     #wrapper { float: left; }
     #content-gallerypage {
         height: auto;
         float: left;
     }
     #text { float: left;}

Other browsers have problems based on what font-size the user has set.  
Try increasing your text size a couple of notches and watch the content 
flow out of the boxes you have set for them.  It is much better to 
leave your heights set to auto whenever possible.  In the early stages 
of development it is tempting to set them because there is no content, 
but it will bite you in the end.  If you must set heights for content 
blocks, setting them in ems will allow for more font-size flexibility.
