Body height 100% displaying vertical scrollbar

by

If you paint the backgrounds of html and body (giving each its own color), you’ll quickly notice that body is being shifted down along with #container, and #container itself isn’t offset from the top of body at all. This is a side effect of margin collapse, which I cover in detail here (although that answer describes a slightly different setup).

It’s this behavior that’s causing the scrollbar to appear, since you’ve declared body to have 100% the height of html. Note that the actual height of body is unaffected, as margins are never included in height calculations.
