    Paddings, border and margins are added after by default.

    Box-sizing specification works too if you don't care for older browsers.

    Xophers snippet means width is inclusive of Border and Padding, but not margin.

    Margin should never be included in a specified width as margins are... permeable? Something with margin-right:20px next to something with margin-left:10px will mean they have 20px space between them. Wanting margins to behave like padding is misuse.

    • padding is inside the box, marign is outside so not part of the width - its quite simplefadein11
