The value of 'width' refers JUST to the content area (in modern, strict 
browsers), and does NOT include padding, margin, etc. So your .bar has width 
equal to 100% + 5px. I'm not quite sure of the purpose of your padding-left 
there, so I'd suggest removing it in lieu of any.

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean here - can you clarify (or wait until 
someone else works it out!)?

It might sound harsh, but that book would reward a re-read ;-)
