Width is "Width of content", padding goes around the width (and then the border goes around the padding). http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=BoxModel > My students are going to ask the obvious follow-up, too; namely, since > this doesn't seem to work, if I *did* want to add some left-right space, > without expanding the box beyond the picture, how would I go about it? Either reduce the width by the sum of the left and right padding, or use a child container with the padding you want and width "auto". -- David Dorward <http://dorward.me.uk><http://blog.dorward.me.uk> ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
