Actually that is not totally correct. IE 5.x implements the box model as you describe. However, IE6 in standards mode implements the box model as specified by the CSS 2 standards.
Standards mode is decided on by the browser, by the DocType you use. No Doctype will throw any browser into quirks mode. The best DocTypes for standards mode across browsers are HTML 4.01 strict and xHTML 1.0 strict (no xml prolog, since that throws IE6 right into quirks mode).

Specifically, IE assumes the width you specify is for the actual content area of the elements box, while the CSS spec says that the width you specify is for the entire box (including padding, border, and margin). So if you've got 5px of margin, a 1px border, and 4px of padding, your elements will be 10px wider than they should be. Or, if you're looking at it from the IE side, rather than the standards side, a standards compliant browser will show your boxes 10px smaller than you're used to. cheers, barneyb On Sun, 12 Dec 2004 21:28:48 -0500, Victor Moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks Isaac, > > I have implemented the second part and it's working fine. > I am working now on the first one.
