CSS Hover not working in IE 6

[~n[EO]n~]

as said in the title , can anybody fix this

 

This i wrote for the link

 <td class="classic"><a href="accueil_classic.php" class="classic">ACCUEIL</a></td>

 

and this is the CSS

 

a.classic{font-family:  DaxCondensed-Medium,Dax-Bold, Dax-BlackExpert, Dax-Black,Verdana, Arial,;
font-size:11px;
color:#595959;
background:#2E2E2E;
text-decoration:none;
display:block;
padding-left:6px;
padding-top:3px;
padding-bottom:3px;
border-bottom:1px solid #242424;
}

a.classic:hover{font-family: DaxCondensed-Medium, Dax-Bold, Dax-BlackExpert, Dax-Black,Verdana, Arial,;
font-size:11px;
color:#FFE4C0;
background:#3D3D3D;
text-decoration:none;
display:block;
padding-left:6px;
padding-top:3px;
padding-bottom:3px;
border-bottom:1px solid #242424;
}

 

It is working in IE 7 and FF but on IE 6 it is not working.

 

When i mouse over on the TD the link works wherever i click on the TD but in IE 6 i need to directly click on the text.

 

Any solution for this
