Default. The specified IHTMLCurrentStyle::width and IHTMLRuleStyle::height apply to the width and height respectively of the content box of the element. The IHTMLRuleStyle::padding and IHTMLRuleStyle::border of the element are drawn outside this area.

The specified IHTMLCurrentStyle::width and IHTMLRuleStyle::height determine the border box of the element. Any IHTMLRuleStyle::padding or IHTMLRuleStyle::border specified on the element is drawn inside the remaining area. The content box is computed by subtracting the IHTMLRuleStyle::padding or IHTMLRuleStyle::border widths of the respective sides from the specified width and height.

This is the default behavior of IHTMLCurrentStyle::width and IHTMLRuleStyle::height in IE5 mode for replaced elements and input elements, such as buttons.
