The footer is not clearing. You can see this behavior by bumping the font size 
to +2 or +3 in compiant browsers and by ignoring the font-size in IE6 and 
selecting font-size "largest." The content should drive the footer down, rather 
than shooting out the bottom.

The difficulty, I believe, is using absolute positioning for the footer, and 
setting height to the several containing wrappers. Additionally, the outermost 
wrapper in not enclosing the floats (or footer) contained within it. Put a red 
border around that wrapper and you'll see the issue. 

In general, things go better if you let the software (browsers) and content 
determine height; and, while absolute positiong might be used with your current 
layout, it just complicates matters and could be eliminated.

Best,
