Width (and a little Height)

                                                 (Generally: Divs go out...Tables go in")

Remember that the general rule is width/height is actually the width/height of the containing (content) block + border + padding + margin. Some examples using borders/padding (divs 1st/tables 2nd):

100px x 100px div w/ 1px border

100px + 1px + 1px = 102px

100px x 100px div w/ 10px border

100px + 10px + 10px = 120px

100px x 100px div w/ 10px border & 10px padding

100px + 10px + 10px + 10px + 10px= 140px

Uh Oh!
