Borders are applied outside the content area.

It is not possible to apply borders internally to a box in CSS2.
The CSS3 UI *working draft* includes a box-sizing property that may add 
this capability to CSS3:

However, you can often use the containing block to get the same effect;
when the width is 'auto' (the default), the content width will stretch
to fill the containing block.
