If you set a 1px border in CSS for 100px wide box it will be in total 102px
The same for adding margin and padding it is an outer dimension and that's
the way it is (well except for the broken box model in IE5). If I have got
this wrong please point me to the correct reference thanks!
It would be good to emulate correct CSS behaviour in NS4 with adding
outer borders. Or more precisely:
1) increasing the size of the layer (and content auto centers) then adding
the borders inside
2) creating a new larger container layer center anchoring the original layer
then adding the borders inside.
Something like this is in dynapi3x anyway!

It is precise. We just all need to sing from the same style sheet. This has
been a subject of discussion in the past. If personal projects have had the
development of DynAPI move in one direction then it would be difficult
to change back to the CSS standard (for complicated page layouts).
I don't care either way I'm just making the point about consistency and
CSS. We've all put something in the dynapi project for own needs I guess.

There is something like that:
lyr.setBorder(10,'red')
or
lyr.setBorder([1,2,3,4],['red','green','blue','yellow'])
or
lyr.setBorder([5,10],['top.gif','right.gif','bottom.gif','left.gif')
or
different side and corner images too.

Quite small I think about 30k.
