Hi David, While you may or may not need this technique for your current layout, there *is* a property that does what you describe. Depending on how important IE6/IE7 compatibility is, you could use the box-sizing property. Here's a good explanation: http://css-tricks.com/7323-box-sizing/ The nice part is that it even works in IE8. The first time I used box-sizing: border-box, my comment was /* No, YOU do the math */ . Even if you do need IE7/IE6 compatibility, you could do a conditional comment and lower the percentage for those browsers a bit and have it look pretty similar. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
