Need help with CSS2 coding

[Jimbeef]

Hi all, I'm new to all this, was wondering if someone could help me out. Have been looking at CSS codes and templates. I have one that I'm fiddling with that only seems to work in IE7, due to IE6 not being very CSS compliant.

Here's the problem code, how do I get these files to work in IE6 so the page displays properly? I know there's a series of code, but I've no idea what it is and where to put it.

<style type="text/css">


#container{background:#f0f0f0 url(file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/Templates/andreas09/alt-img/bodybg-red.jpg) repeat-x;}
#mainmenu a:hover{background:#f0f0f0 url(file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/Templates/andreas09/alt-img/menuhover-red.jpg) top left repeat-x;}
#mainmenu a.current{background:#f0f0f0 url(file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/Templates/andreas09/alt-img/menuhover-red.jpg) top left repeat-x;}
.style2 {color: #CC3300}
</style>[/B][/B]

for one thing, i don't know why you need two of these: #mainmenu
second, it should be " a:current " instead of a.current

You can set up #mainmenu like so:
a:hover {your stuff}
a:current {your stuff}

and so on for whatever you need to show for the links section.
