Perhaps what Brad is trying to point out, or, at least, what I want to know, is: How, then, do you give your box a border? Elements that have borders but are "far away" from the canvas should have some kind of spread. Also, I would like to respectfully request that demonstrations be made available in some sort of image format instead of using already-implemented proprietary CSS extensions. The algorithms used to compute these might change from build to build, or change in different window sizes, and they may prevent us from discovering better ways to think about a property. (No offense meant to the teams who code said algorithms.) Images are the only way to ensure that things are being seen identically by all parties. Eli Morris-Heft dai@doublefishstudios.com
