The float-width is pushed to full ul-width because of the 'display:
block' declared on its content - the anchor - pushes outwards.

Since you need the 'display: block' declaration for other browsers, the
easiest solution is to add something like...

* html #navcontainer ul li {width: 3em; white-space: nowrap;}

...which works with such a small width-value because IE6 auto-expands
too small elements to the width of their content - the 'auto-expansion
bug' - and the anchor-text can't wrap.
