The padding, borders, and margins are then added to this value to arrive at the total box width. If the 'width' property is omitted, the total box width is the same as the 'content area' of the surrounding container element. All well and good. Unfortunately, all CSS enabled versions of IE before IE6/strict use a different box model. In that model, the padding and borders are counted as part of any assigned 'width' or 'height'. In the absence of borders and padding, the two models agree. However, if a box has an assigned "width', and if borders and/or padding are added, the standard box model causes the overall box width (between the outer border edges) to increase, while in IE's model the 'content area' gets squeezed by the same amount. This is a major problem for proper page layout." Thats only part of it, once you start to do slightly more exciting things you sometimes have to get quite creating. Have a look into transparencies in gifs in IE, that's quite a chunky hack to get working, but it can be done. Another massive difference between all browsers is the way in which forms get rendered, that can involve all sorts of hacks if you really want to get everything the same Not at all true, the Box Model is a massive problem if you’re creating pixel perfect layouts, look at this quote from here http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=BoxModelHack:

Their athletic line is ugly, but I like the retro looking ones. I think Nike’s are going to the retro look now for the more casual crowd.
