Nav list item width

I have a nav list on the left.

The style sheet contains this:
#NavLeft ul li a {... width:9em; ...}
The idea is to give all the "buttons" the same width. This works in IE5.5,
but in IE6 the buttons shrink to fit the text.

What is the correct way to fix it?

Thanks Lauri, Richard

My next big task is selecting (and *agreeing*) a colour scheme! This is
proving to be much more difficult than learning html/css.
