    margin:0;
    padding:0;
}

.button{
    background:url(sprite-image.png) no-repeat 0 0;
    width:15px;
    height:15px;

}

.button:hover{
    background:url(sprite-image.png) no-repeat -15px 0;
}

.button:active{
    background:url(sprite-image.png) no-repeat -30px 0;
}

.cont{
    width:200px;

Why not use IE-conditional comments;

 <!doctype html>
<!-- paulirish.com/2008/conditional-stylesheets-vs-css-hacks-answer-neither/ -->
<!--[if lt IE 7]> <html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]>    <html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]>    <html class="no-js lt-ie9" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!-- Consider adding a manifest.appcache: h5bp.com/d/Offline -->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!--> <html class="no-js" lang="en"> <!--<![endif]-->

And then write eg CSS-rules like .lt-ie9 .someclass{}to target a IE-version. I use them to fix some IE-specific css-stuff. No dirty hacks, no hastle just css. Did you check with eg Firebug Lite what happens?! outline: 0 none?
