Chris,

The general rule of thumb is that you should not define none of borders,
padding, and margin if you specify the width attribute, unless they are all
in the same units and you've done all the calculations.

The quickest fix is to define the div's with the set widths (in your case
30%. 35%, and 25% - which does not quite add up to 100%, but should using
this method) and then put div's within those with the border and spacing
rules.  On this inner div do not put any defined width.  Omitting width will
cause the div to fill it's container horizontally.
