IE5 borders

Can someone please confirm my suspicion that IE5 on Windows is including
borders in the dimensions of a block object? The block in question has the
following css:

div.headerbox
{
position: relative;
left: 169px;
height: 70px;
margin: 5px;
margin-top: 0px;
width: 640px;
color:#99ffff;
background-color: #6699cc;
background-image: url(images/site/logotop.png);
background-position: top right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
border: 2px solid #003399;
cursor: default;
z-index: 2;
}

and works fine in IE6, Mozilla 1.3, Opera 7.11, but is 4px too short in IE5.

Any ideas why its doing this wrong?
Thanks

> Yes, Windows IE5.5 (and IE6 in Quirks mode) includes padding and
borders as part of the width and height values. A search for IE and
"box model" should reveal lots of pages that discuss this.


OK, I give up. I've moved to separate style sheets for different browsers.
Its working OK now so it'll have to do.
Thanks

I've been trying to figure out a good way to make a CSS layout with nice-looking 1-pixel borders around the table cells. The only broadly compatible way to do this I know of is to have * the border of the table set to zero * the cellspacing of the table set to one * the background color set to black * the table cell background color set to white

This may seem a pointless question, but I'm trying work around an inconsistency between browsers. I have a template that contains a division that holds a text that sometimes exists and sometimes not. I use top and bottom borders to separate this material from its environment: .header { font-size: smaller; border-bottom: solid black thin;

Hi, For a project at school we have to automate the assignment of seats in classrooms to students during the exams. The lady who previously did everything manually kept the layouts of the classrooms in an excel-document: 1 sheet per classroom, and she marked the cells which represent the seats with a border. The problem however is that she sometimes merged cells together to get a better layout.

See: http://www.mattkruse.com/temp/offsetleft.html It appears that the offsetLeft value in IE6 (other versions not tested) incorrectly ignores the border width on a DIV when there is a width: property specified. Without a specified width: it gets it correct. Does anyone know 1) If this is a known bug, and if it affects any other browsers? I tested a few and found no problems.

Hi, I just switched from FP to DW and am very very happy ! So whilst I'm mastering Dreamweaver (gonna be a while yet :-) - I thought that I'd try and find out how to add borders for browers like Firefox which don't support them. Not sure if I've explained the above well but my borders display in IE but not in Firefox.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
