Eric Shepherd gave the right answer already. The real culprit is the [censored] css box model. Imagine, you have a garage, and the width of its gate is 2000 pixels. If you want to know whether your car can pass it or not, you need to know the width of your car. If you ask Microsoft's box model, the answer will be precise: "your car is 1600 pixels wide. As you can see, you have a margin of 200 pixels on every side -- You can pass." If you ask CSS's box model, the answer will be: "The inner width of your car is 1395 pixels and the width of the beam is 87 pixels on the left and 87 pixels on the ... by the way, do you have a pocket calculator?" For a more serious explanation, take a look at: < http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/about-boxmodel.htm > To avoid such problems in the future, don't use left and right paddings on an containing block with a fixed width, and use left and right margins for child elements, instead.
