I have a small probelm with it. Dont get me wron, i totally support the standard laid out by the W3C, i jsut have one bone to pick... PADDING.
No as much as i hate MS's older proprietary box model (ie5.x) the padding rendering makes more sense.
My problem is that i think that a box's dimensions should be completely independent of its padding. It gives you more control and also eliminates the need to apply a margin or padding to elements within that box in many cases, or the need to "go nesting crazy!"... I dont understand why, when creating the spec, they decided to ADD the padding dimensions to the box instead of making them act as an independent inner margin. This logic just dosent make sense to me! Maybe its becuase im from a print background and am used to defining an inset on a text box for control... i dunno.
What are your thoughts on it?
