Box Properties
Internet Explorer for Windows versions up to and including 5.5 (and up to and
including version 7 in quirks mode) incorrectly include padding, borders, and
margins in the content width. This is known as the box model bug (see the box
model (p. 142)).
Internet Explorer for Windows versions up to and including 6 (and up to and
including version 7 in quirks mode) in some respects incorrectly treat width as
though it were min-width, by extending the content width of a block if its content
cannot fit within the specified space. Such a scenario would arise if an image was
bigger than the available content area, or if unbroken text content couldn??™t wrap,
and pushed the boundaries of an element wide enough to fit. This bug may push
other elements on the page out of place, or cause floated elements to drop down.
The correct behavior would let the content overflow without affecting the width of
the element, and would leave other elements unaffected.
