Odds are that you are using a Doctype that triggers Quirks mode in IE6
causing it to intentionally replicate bugs in earlier versions - including
getting "width" wrong.

Switching to a Doctype that triggers Standards mode and then repairing the
stylesheet is likely the best solution to the problem.
