But using an extra DIV like this is also a hack. And not better IMO, since it mixes structure and presentation. My approach is to *not* mix dimensions with padding/border declarations on the same axis. I don't think padding is an issue since it can be "moved down" to the inner elements. Border is more tricky, but it is always possible to keep the box model in mind and plan ahead when it comes to visual design...
