Jan, The box model refers to where container blocks (from divs on down) render their border and padding and how this affects the declared width of the box. Tables can be affected by the box model when using CSS to position or style them, but I think the terms you've used below are being used incorrectly. Here's a link to an article by PPK (Peter-Paul Kotch from Evolt) on the two box models: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/css2tests/box.html that should clear a couple o' thins up. -Stephen http://www.mechavox.com
