Set a specific width for IE6

[elementalgrace]

Is there any way to set a width for an element, but specifically set it to be a different width if you're looking at it in IE6?I have a problem that I'm trying to fix for a friend as he was given some non standards compliant code. I now have it working fine for Firefox, IE7, Opera and Netscape but this one page won't work for IE6. It will work for IE6 if I change the width but then it knocks the background out in Firefox, IE7, Opera and Netscape.The site is developed in asp.net if that helps

you can do this

.className{  width: 500px;  -width:520px;  /*only IE sees this*/}

or

<style>.className{width:500px}</style><!--[if IE]><style>.className{width:520px}</style><![endif]-->

.className{  width: 500px;  -width:520px;  /*only IE sees this*/}

OK, maybe you can explain this to me or point me to a link that explains it. I've started to notice things like -width and _margin lately. What's going on there?
