form field manipulation?
Ok, does anyone know how to manipulate the sizes of the text field and submit buttons? Also- is there a way to get rid of the extra line break after the form field? Thanks...

I’m guessing your talking about manipulating the fields using stylesheets? First off remember that Netscape doesn’t care for it (Netscape 6 supports it a lot more), so it will only work in IE (at this point). So make sure you test it in a couple browsers.
The basic idea is something like this:
<input type="text" name="textfield" style=”font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #0099FF; background-color: #000033">
You can find a complete tutorial on stylesheets at http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/authoring/stylesheets/tutorials/tutorial1.html

?? What do you mean Netscape doesn't like it? It is fine for the example you used there. Where it falls apart is for borders and padding for input, et cetera, tags.
For font sizes it works better than IE because the inheritance works (for font sizes in form elements if you set the form, all form elements have that font size).
Regardless, yes is the answer!

No, I know how to use stylesheets, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm not looking to change the font sizes etc. inside the text box.
What I want to do is change the height of a text box. The actual text box, not the text inside it.
Sorry for not being more specific

Justin,
Okay. So you want to specify the box size in exact pixels? Try something like what I have bellow. That specifies the box size, the size of the padding, and the margin between the text and the side of the box.
height: 10px; width: 40px; margin-top: 1px; margin-right: 1px; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 1px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px
Suzanne, Netscape can support specific fonts and font sizes. But it will not display a specific box type (like you said) bad wording on my part on the last post. Which is why I suggested testing it in multiple browsers (namely IE 4+, Netscape+ and maybe a older verison of Netscape).
