controlling text input box size
I'm having a nasty time trying to control text input box size as in:
It's double the size in netscape 4.x (size=10 looks like size=20)
I.E 6.0 automatically adds (I think) a break (blank line) at the top and bottom of the form.
I want to standardize the "look" between Opera, IE and N.S. 4.x
I've tried using CSS to specify height/width but it falls apart in Netscape 4.x
Does anybody know how to do this?
Thanks for any help

You could use javascript to determine the browser and set the textbox size accordingly. If your using server side script like asp or php your could also use that.

You could also try putting a font tag around your textbox tag like so:
Generally, you can fiddle around with it enough to get it to an acceptable width.
