Actually, this might just be a bug in my code. I found this:
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum83/4835.htm and my code also does
padding + width=XXX
At the end of the discussion, they don't give a clear solution
on how to fix the problem. I for one really dislike the CSS box model.
I find it idiotic :) But anyway... what I'm trying to do is set the
width of my <div> to 100% and I expect the padding to be subtracted
from *within* the box, not outside it. How do I get this done? Width is
specified in percentage and padding in pixel units...
