Border first?

Say you are designing a site that is to be 760 width. It will have a 1px border around it which will be made by html for the table. My questions is do you have the canvas be 758 width and design in that or do you design with a 760 width and draw the tables in the design and just not include it in the slices?

Design everything at 800x600 and draw everything you are putting in the layout.

Actually it does need to be closer to 760, to account for the scrollbars and other stuff that gets put on the side of browsers.

I usually just fill up the entire 760 area though.

Put in everything you're going to have. Then you can realize that the 1px border can be CSS'ed.

That is what I usually do. I create my canvas at 760x800 (or whatever), design including the borders and everything. And then when I slice, I exclude the borders and just use CSS to create them on the pages.
