I thought this was one of the most concise and clear explination with solution for the CSS box 'width' issues between browsers I've ever seen:

Yes it is one of the better ones.

I try to avoid the problem altogether

The box model problem only occurs when we have padding and borders, with a width.


So don't. See if you can use margin instead or don't specify a width. There are ways round it if you're willing to tweak your design a bit.

Of course, with IE7 it won't be a problem any more.......
will it. ? !

In an ideal world, I agree whole-heartedly. But many of my customers don't have any concept of an 'ideal world'. :) I always seem to have to use widths *somewhere*; if nothing else for a reference pint for other boxes. :)

This fix tho does seem to be quick and very broad in it's effectiveness.
