Yeah, I know that. But then again, if you have buttons that are 100 pixels
wide, for example, and you set it to a percentage, if someone loads the site
in some ridiculous resolution, the frame will be too big. If it has a border
on it, it'll look awful. I generally set a rule of thumb to make my frames
20 pixels larger than the expected contents of it. It works most of the time
;-)
