As a reminder, at this point you cannot safely apply widths to any
elements that have a border, padding or a margin. In the case you need
to apply width adn one of the others mentioned, safest best is to insert
a nested div/span with the padding applied etc to break it up.
This has long since been a point of confusion for many people, and this
simple remedy (although in the long term not the best) proves most
effective with todays browsers.

I am having problems with a menu that is similar to the Alistapart's
hybrid menu. I can not get the width to be consistantly even with the
rest of the site and it is not workig in IE or Opera. It works fine
in Firebird. I have been beating my head against this for quite a
long time.
It seems that absolutely positioned widths do not behave as I expect
them. Oi!
