Set div outerwidth using css

Question

I wonder if there is way to set outerwidth of a div using css to ignore padding and borders.

When I set a div t

Answer 1

you could split the 50% value assigned to the width as this:

width: 46%;

margin: 0 1%; // 0 top/bottom and 1% each for left and right

padding: 0 1%; // same as above

you can recalculate the percentages to suit your needs, as long as the total is 50% you should be fine.

I would avoid using js to fix small cosmetic issues as this would not work with js off and would add extra workload to your client's browser - think of mobile and you will see why performance counts!
