Because, in the CSS box model, that is what it is supposed to do. Also adding padding changes the size on screen of an element. If you have a DIV that is 100px wide with a 2px border and 10px of padding that div will be 100 +4 +20 = 124 px wide. That's the way the standard is written and browsers that comply with the standard do it that way. -- Ed Seedhouse ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
