Sometimes there is no reasonable way to accomplish a desired layout in all major web browsers without the use of some special exception rules for certain layout engines.

Box Model Hack - css-discuss. From CSS Discuss A Css Hack .
Why does the CSS box model need a hack? According to the W3C, an assigned 'width' (and 'height') of a box refers to the 'content area' of a box only. 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. When viewed in a 'standards' browser the dimension from border edge to border edge will be '140px'. (100+10+10+10+10=140) Because IE5.x puts all these values inside the 'width', the border edge to border edge dimension will be '100px'.

See. Steampunk Keyboard Mod. My goal with this project was to build a retro keyboard that was fully functional and of a sufficient quality that it could be used everyday by a touch typist.
In order to achieve this I chose a high quality (though widely available) keyboard as my starting point. This is an IBM Model M "Clicky" keyboard. They were made starting in the mid 1980's and a version is still manufactured today. This particular keyboard was made in 1989 and shipped with and IBM PowerStation 530, a UNIX box the size of a kegerator. Besides its overall quality and heft, one of the things that makes this keyboard particularly good for such a mod is the fact that it has removable key caps and the under-cap has a flat surface ideal for affixing a new key top. Step one was disassembly and the removal of the skirts on the key caps. Here is a short movie demonstration the process of removing the skirts from the key caps. Next came the process of cutting and shaping the brass.
The shapes were then cut out on a band saw.
