#sidebar {
float:left;
width: 175px;
background-color: #EEE;
text-align: left;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #890000;
border-width: 2px;
}
What is the actual outside width of this DIV? 175 or 179?

Hmmm... Thanks Anon.
Actually it's 175, borders go in, not out. Pretty easy to tell when I change the border to 20px. Big duh for me.< |

Whew.
Actually they do behave the same in IE and FF.
I'm teaching myself the wonderful world of a floating div layout. Believe it or not, I got myself out a piece of paper and a pencil and drew a map.  It helps. < |

Learning a completely div site is definantly in need of a drawn out map. I have been trying to teach myself divs more and more and I still like the idea of a table and div site
But CSS has alot of cool features just takes time to find out all the little quarks to it.< |

It depends on which version of IE. IE7 made a lot of improvements to exploder's implementation of CSS, but there are still some quirks. IE6 has absolutely *horrid* CSS support. A quick search for "IE6 CSS bugs" will turn up thousands of sites. IE7 got rid of a lot of them (not all, but I won't fault them for progress ), and I am hoping IE8 will be even better.< |

mmm, actually they don't behave the same at all.
IE and Firefox interpret the border + padding elements differently (one puts them on the inside, the other on the outside).

Remember, the DTD you use will be a factor, as well.
