There is an inconsistency between the width property typed into the CSS and rendered value in combo boxes.
css:
.foo {
width:300px;
padding:10px;
border:1px solid #ccc;
}
html:
<input type="text" id="text" class="foo"><br><br>
<select id="combo" class="foo">
<option>bar</option>
</select>
The “select” element is substracting padding and borders from width before render. Is it normal? If so, theres some documented explanation?
Yes, that’s normal. That’s how the CSS box model works.
