Damn, had not seen this one coming. How about using this: 

.myClass{
 width:50%;
 border:10px;
 box-sizing:border-box; /* (or width-include:border;) */
 max-width:50%;
}


With max-width being the safety belt against browsers that do not
understand the new ways of calculating the width.

Kindest regards,
