Tony,
I find that padding can be useful and my approach is to subtract any =
width padding from the specified width

ie before padding

.myDiv{
width:200px;
}

with padding

.myDiv{
width:170px;/*200 _ I keep this here for reference*/
padding-left:10px;
padding-right:20px;
}

just another option for those picking this up!


Kind regards=20

The simple trick that I learned long ago, that saved me from loads of =20
grief, was to avoid horizontal padding altogether.

if you need white space add a margin to the contained element, not =20
padding to the container.

that one simple thing eliminates a whole mess of IE problems.
