A humble screen ruler. (Actually, with a little help: Firefox' DomInspector, and then with the WebInspector that comes with nightly WebKit builds.) Tables, and by extension 'display:table', are complicated elements. Referring to the width of a table: Under 17.6.1 The separated borders model, we can find this sentence [1]: 'However, in HTML and XHTML1, the width of the <table> element is the distance from the left border edge to the right border edge.' However, the issue is more complicated, as the border on <table>, and again 'display:table' should in fact be painted half outside, half inside the table. Safari doesn't do this, it paints the borders fully inside of the table. IE win has no problems with your file, as it doesn't support 'display:table'. Firefox puts the borders correctly. But it also expands the div to account for the 2 floated columns (generation of table-cells, see 17.2.1). Unless you know very well what you do, I'd say, stay away from display:table.
