Take a look at the footer here in IE6.

And take a look at the footer here in IE6.

Noticed how the footer on the later test rises to the sidebar, if not
refresh the screen.
Now move a smaller window over the expanded footer under the sidebar.
What you see is the IE6 pee-ka-boo bug. The hasLayout trigger stops it.
BTW, the height:1% does not affect the size of the footer in any browser
(excluding IE6 of course).
