Content pane size problems

HI, My content panes are not sizing per the specification in my css. skin file.

}

.LeftPane
{
width:202px;
border-right:solid 1px #918f8f;
padding-left:6px;
padding-top:5px;
padding-right:5px;
}
.RightPane
{
border-left:solid 1px #918f8f;
width:265px;
padding-left:6px;
padding-top:5px;
padding-right:5px;
}

.ContentPane
{
width:331px;
padding-left:6px;
padding-top:5px;
padding-right:5px;
}
The left pane is rendering with a large right blank margin on right side of copy and the right pane is way too narrow. Any ideas? Thanks, Darcy

Please note that using padding will change the size of a box (read this)
This example (copy to HTM file):
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
    <TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
    <DIV style="width:200px;height:200px;background-color:#FF8800;">
    <DIV style="width:80px;height:80px;background-color:#FFFF00;padding-left:50px;">
    </DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Will show you that the inside box will become 130px wide (and it will also show you that IE 6 renders this incorrectly if the DTD is Transitional)

But maybe you already know that.....
