This may or may not have been discussed before. I just had a hunch about border widths. Specifying a positive width means applying the border in a measure of units outside the padding. My thoughts say that specifying a negative width would apply the border along the inside of the padding. This might provide an alternate way of working with the box model for designers who are confused by it, or it could add more confusion. I don't know how this would fit into CSS3. I don't even know how it would fit into CSS2, because other logic might say the total dimensions of the box would have to be decreased. One could even go crazy and say the border color would have to be inverted, citing some weird physics formulae (I should hope nobody would look *that* far into it). Most likely, this will be tossed into the "...right, no," pile. ________ "Irony is a voluntary survey with required fields." ~ Dris ~
