Here you go:

Mouse over the link to see how wide it is. Mozilla 1.5 and Opera 7.22 report
different values because of the padding.
Ah, this is a totally different problem to the one I, and I guess
everyone else, thought you were describing.
The normal problem is a style like this:
width: 200px;
padding: 20px;
which in correctly behaving browsers creates a box 240px wide, but in
incorrectly behaving browsers (IE5.5 and down, IE6 and Opera 7 in
quirks mode) created a box only 200px wide.
However, you haven't defined a width in your CSS at all, and you're
problem is that the DOM getComputedStyle returns different values for
the width.
I get,
350px in IE (but that's the offsetWidth not the width)
50px in Mozilla
341px in Opera 7 (I have a smaller font size in Opera, I bet it would
be 350px if I had the same font settings as in IE and Mozilla).
I think this is a bug in Opera's DOM support but I'm not enough of an
expert on that part of the DOM to be sure. IE (even version 6) is
reporting on a totally different property and hence returns a totally
different value.
