An alternative solution (also using nested divs) would be to set the border of your current div to 1px solid, add an inner div with a transparent background, 2px margins, and a 1px solid border as well. I'm not sure which method is preferable--I had actually typed my method above before Jukka's email arrived in my inbox. I think Jukka's might win out simply because available (inner) size and occupied space would not change from what you'd expect using a double border. Thanks also for pointing out that the specs had no clarification on which method is considered "correct."
