54201 - border and padding width adds to specified width

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 43721

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[post]

If you have a specified with (100%) and you specify a border-width, your element
expands beyond 100%.

This is a duplicate of another bug that I can no longer find. The bug was
declared invalid because it conforms to the standards.

Im sorry, but I had to re-enter this bug. it makes absolutely no sense to have
an element expand beyond the specified width.

say I wanted a DIV to take up 100% of a cell, and I wanted a 3px border and 3px
padding. I could not do this because it would over lap the cell border.

please reconsider this behavior. I can forsee allot of problems.
