I've defined widths of the containers in percentage. I'd like to add a border (3px on right side of a width), since container width is in % while the border width is in px, how can I adjust the width of the container?
<div class="wrap">
<div class="left">...</div>
<div class="right">...</div>
</div>
.wrap{
width:100%;
}
.left{
width:30%;
}
.right{
width:70%;
}
I'd like to add 3px border on the right side of .left. For example:
.left{
width:30%;
border:3px solid #000;
}
Since I have defined width in the %, what is the best way to re-adjust the width of the .left. I can roughly decrease the width to 29%, but I want to do precisely.
Use the box-sizing: border-box property. It modifies the behaviour of the box model to treat padding and border as part of the total width of the element (not margins, however). This means that the set width or height of the element includes dimensions set for the padding and border. In your case, that would mean the element's width and it's border's width would consume 30% of the available space.
Support for it isn't perfect, however vendor prefixes will catch most if not all modern browsers:
.left {
width: 30%;
border: 3px solid #000;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-ms-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
More information can be found on the MDN and Quirksmode.
According to Quirksmode, using the 3 vendor prefixes above (-moz-, -webkit- and -ms-), you get support for all browsers, even IE8.
The easiest cross-browser way is to NOT set the border on the outer divs, and instead set it on a NEW div inside .left. Simple, and works well.

How do I add 1px border to a div whose width is a percentage?
In my case I ended up adding an outer div with a padding of the size that I wanted the original margin to be, and width 100%. That allowed me to set the inner div width to 100%, fitting entirely inside the padding (that would work as the previous margin I had set)
Just change px to vw like
border-width: 10px;
to
border-width: 10vw;

I have a div with this css specifications:
width:200px;
padding:5px
border:1px solid
and another div as it's child with this css:
width:100%
border:1px solid
and these divs has rendered in FF and IE like this:
But it seems the right padding is less than left one! can any one tell me why this behavior causes?
Thanks
this happens because the borders of the inner div are not part of the definition of the width itself, so your inner div is actually 100% + 2px wide.
you should specify box-sizing: border-box; for the inner div, so its width will include borders
See the MDN documentation for further information (and browser support) about this property.
Its the border that pushes it to the right. set box-sizing: border-box to the inner div.
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
You should check the box model once again.
You are having a div with width 100% and adding border 1px to it, so the divs becomes 100% + 2px width and it's pushed to the right like you see.
You should drop the "width: 100%" and add just the border. (since the div is a block element it will take the full width)
You don't need to add box-sizing even, since IE7 won't support it. (if you want IE7 support)
What is the overflow like on your parent element? Unless I am mistaken your setting the width to 100% with a border, so the width is 200px inside a div that is 200px and so the border will not show.
My quick solution (sure there is a better way) would be to make the padding on the right 2px more or left 2px less than the overall padding.
