The problem you are having is that you are floating content and sidebar_container, however you are not clearing them properly.
This article explains the problem, and has as a detailed explanation with a full solution towards the bottom: http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html You should read it to understand what you are experiencing. If you don't want to use IE conditional commenting, then google clearfix and find another solution that does not contain conditional commenting. Once you put in the CSS clearfix in your CSS, then add a classname of clearfix to the sidebar_container. If that doesn't fix it, add the clearfix to content as well.
