straiten me out here - I'm goin cRaZy

CSS - I have a div tag set at 200px wide, then I have an <img> inside that div. Say the image is 180px wide and I set a left margin of 30 making the 'box' around the image 210px.

Does that image 'box' distort the main div (which is only 200px) since it's 10 px wider?

I am trouble shooting a site that is wrapping things when it's not supposed to.

Depends on the browser. IE will probably increase the div to accommodate the image, Opera and gecko browsers will show part of the image outside the div.

[dyers78]

is there a 'correct' way to do this or just good planning?

Well correct is whatever gets you the desired results, from my perspective. I don't know what you're trying to do exactly.
