Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about here.
Lets say I have a div...pretty background color and some text inside. I'd like the box 20px away from the left side of the window, 500px wide, and all text inside to be 20px away from the edge of the div. This isn't complex...however, when I put padding on the inside of a div in Firefox it adds that padding amount to the width of the box. So in essence the div gets sized to 520px because of the padding. This seems to happen only in Firefox as IE just stresses the width of the box, and the padding is secondary.
This is because of IE's incorrect rendering of the "Box Model".
There are plenty of Box Model Hacks which you can use to bypass this, however, the best way to do it to give the padding to a div that is inside the one with a width.
So like:
Code:
<div style="width:500px;">
<div style="padding: 20px;">
Hello World :)
