I've tried this in Firefox 3.0.4 and Internet Explorer 8beta2 (using
both strict and compatibility modes) and both display the second div
with 150 pixel tall, which makes sense (50% of the container element,
declared 300 pixel tall). Nevertheless, I couldn't find proof (within
the relevant specifications) to support this behavior (though I'm sure
I just didn't crawl enough).

@Peter Kerr
Firefox is also available for Mac, so you may consider installing it
for a third opinion. :-)

By the way: using "Test" for all strings doesn't help much - you may
run into situations, usually caused by bugs or author errors, where
the content is messed up and order is changed. Adding a number after
the strings ("Test1", "Test2", etc.) helps avoiding this. ;-)

Hope this helps,
