css box hack for IE6

[Harris Kosmidhs]

I searched some pages on the net but can't understand it rights cause it
doesn't apply for me.

I have a div which in FF should be width:497px and in IE6:506px

How can I do it? I use some box hacks (like voice-family and /* */:) but
the width isn't hidden from IE6.
thanks

div#someid{
width:497px;
_width:506px;
}

Nice list of hacks:

Redesign this page so that you don't need to hack this pointless
difference into it.

Why do you think you need to do this? Fix that problem instead, don't
multiply it by adding another work-around.

Quite possibly you just shouldn't be setting width, or setting width in
pixels, at all. It's rarely the best practice to do this.
