Greetings;

It's amazing how much CSS one can forget in a few months!   I'm sure there's a 
very simple answer to this -- but I've forgotten it!  

My containing div has a border.  It also contains three other divs:  two that 
are within the normal flow, and one (class="rightside") that is absolutely 
positioned.  Rather than figuring the absolutely-positioned div in its own 
border calculations, the containing div's border ignores it.  

1) Why?

2) The proper way around this CSS fact-of-life?

Here's where you can see the problem, and the css behind it:

Many thanks, in advance.
