You could also use followings:
*{
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; /* Safari/Chrome, other WebKit */
-moz-box-sizing: border-box; /* Firefox, other Gecko */
box-sizing: border-box;
}
at the top of style sheet to have header, footer, nav, section, and aside to fit to the box so that all elements fit, and doesn't required any adjustment in pixel. \

Hi, Just a note of interest. I tested code using IE9 and looks like some of the features of HTML5 are not supported. However found the same code works fine for Firefox and Safari. Thanks
