That is a well known bug in IE mac

In your case, the solution is very easy:
instead of using 'clear' on the div#content, float that div to the left.
div#content {
/*clear:both;*/ /* <-------delete this one */
float:left; /* <------- add */
}
No problems in other browser (or may be IE Win, didn't bother to check.

The height 100% on div#insideWrapper is causing that (not incorrect,
but that is another discussion).
Delete that height rule and you're settled.
IE mac isn't very happy with this rule block
html, body {
height:100%;
}
causing a large amount of white space at the bottom, when not much
content in the page.
Delete it as well.
I guess you're idea with the use of height is to always have those two
containers stretch the full height of the window. You can leave them in
for other browsers if you feel like, but hidden form IE Mac
