You can easily confirm this from the source document: <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#blockwidth> > I really really really think that the width or height of an object > should include the padding , at least. Very few people use padding. In general, one wants the content size for images, not anything larger, and that's the only place you should be using precise sizes. > If an item should be 100% (PERCENT) wide but the padding on the right > side should always be 200px (PIXELS) ... ??? Tell how can this be done? How to do this for width should be fairly obvious from <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#blockwidth>. Ask me off list, with a valid email reply address, if you want details. In most contexts there is no containing height. Having an option to make width the overall width has been raised in the past. The other proposal that has been made is to allow simple expressions with mixed units (but many consider that is the thin end of the wedge towards scripting).
