This isn't really a script. It is an IE-expression and as it is written
it will only work when IE6 is in quirks mode.
3 alternatives:
1: run IE6 in quirks mode by putting an <?xml "prolog" before the doctype.
2: use one expression for IE6 and one (the one above) for IE5+ since
they are always in quirks mode.
3: use a script that basically do exactly the same as those IE-expressions.

I always use alternative 1, since that means I only have to "fix" IE/win
once on most issues. Will probably work for IE7 also, but who knows...
One other point: if someone turns off javascript-support in IE6, or ends
up doing so by setting "High Security" in XP-SP2, then both expressions
and scripts will fail. Set a fixed width before any expressions or
scripts kicks in, if a page need one to fall back on in IE/win.
I use this solution myself, of course.
