Just add below css in #outdiv_inner

CSS

position: absolute;

and change the width of #outdiv_inner to 610px;

Modified CSS Will be like

CSS

#outdiv_inner
{   
    margin: 10px 5px 10px 5px;
    width: 1090px;
    height: 610px;   
    background: #E8E8E8;
    font-size: 14px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 15px;
    -moz-border-radius: 15px;
    border-radius: 15px;
	position: absolute;
}

This is a very fragile approach. It will require you to change multiple width values if you want to change size of the outer div.

Yes..Yes..I know.. But based on requirement we can use..In some cases % approach is not good..At that time we can use this..

Even though you already got the solution, I'll suggest another one.

You already said the key work in your question: "padding". So, use the property "padding" ("padding-top", "padding-left" and so on...), not only "margin". It is designed specially for such cases. For understanding, please learn the box model:

You need to remove the position. That should only be used if you are trying to move content without respect to its container.

The big change was the padding on the outer div. Then you just need the inner div to fill it with width: 100% and height:100%

Try this.

CSS

<style type="text/css">
    #outdiv
    {
        margin: 20px auto 20px auto;
        padding: 15px;
        width: 1100px;
        height: 630px;
        background: #1C4675;
        font-size: 14px;
        -webkit-border-radius: 15px;
        -moz-border-radius: 15px;
        border-radius: 15px;
    }
 
    #outdiv_inner
    {
        width: 100%;
        height: 100%;
        background: #E8E8E8;
        font-size: 14px;
        -webkit-border-radius: 15px;
        -moz-border-radius: 15px;
        border-radius: 15px;
    }
</style>
