The CSS attribute "width" doesn't define the "content width," per se - it
defines the width of the box itself, including content and padding, but not
including borders and margins. (Somebody correct me if I'm wrong; borders
might be inside the width. I don't use wide borders very often.)
This rule:
.foo {
width: 100px;
padding: 10px;
border-width: 1px;
margin: 10px}
... would create a box 122px wide. That's the width plus both borders plus
both margins (I'm dealing only in the horizontal plane, here). The padding
is not taken into account.
