What is this all about:

head {overflow: auto;}

?

Look at your html (or xhtml if you like), what is the explanation
of the divs and <br>. It does not seem to make a lot of sense?
Validity is one thing. Sense is another. Make the page a little
more realistic and let's see.

What do you want me to do? put some content on the site? That has
absolutely nothing to do with the problem.
I have a working site and whether or not it makes sence doesnt matter,
only the problem and the solution.

You have not explained what your head {overflow: auto;} is doing.
I was puzzled by this? Anyway, I see no problem with scrollbars
when this is removed in IE 6 (I cannot now test in IE7 I am
afraid).

I removed various height: auto s too, these are defaults.

I worry about your code when you are putting px font sizes and px
heights for footers that can be too small for a user upped font
and other things. It is not always easy to know what is causing
problems until the simple things are all fixed right. You are
more confident than me. I guess you are not in a mood to hear
about other things... like you need some sort of reason to use
xhtml rather than html, have you got one? It is confusing to call
classes and ids after normal elements, it is bad practice to use
px for fonts, it always helps to make a problem a bit realistic
if you are not sure what is causing the problem...
