Under the W3C box model rules horizontal padding is added to the width
of the table cell (200 + 40 = 240).

Btw, you trigger quirks mode rendering. All bets are off on what you'll
get in quirks mode, I suggest you at least use a transitional doctype
that triggers "Standards" mode, or better: switch to Strict coding and
doctype.
Hello Spartanicus,
Thank you very much. I have been fighting with this all morning. You
showed me the way it works. It is working exactly as I wish now.
Suppose you want to have a box. It should be 160 pixels wide and you
want an extra 20 pixels between the box borders and the content.
<div id="box">content box</div>
WRONG:
=====
#box {
width: 158px;
border: 1px solid #ABC;
padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;
}
To accomodate the padding the box is expanded and becomes larger than
160 pixels.
RIGHT:
====
#box {
width: 118px;
border: 1px solid #ABC;
padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;
}
This box becomes 160 pixels wide.
