Floated lists and widths

[RammsteinNicCage]

I have a list that has each item floated to the left to create a horizontal menu. Since widths have to be declared on the <li>s for some browsers (my problem is IE on Mac OS X), is it possible to just put width:auto; on them or do I have to give them an explicit width?

What if you don't float the list-items but give them a display:inline; instead?

li {
display:inline;
}

I don't think I can because I also have #forumMenu li a {display:block;} so that I can have the entire background change on a hover.

List apart has some really great list that you can work from, and Here are [moronicbajebus.com] Some other list ideas that you can follow along on.
