Forms in netscape
Hi,
On a couple of my pages I am using frames, I have a form in the mainframe (which is created by a php script)in a table set to 90% width.
In IE5 & opera the form fits in the mainframe, no horizontal scroll, but in Netscape 4.7 (haven't tried 6 yet) the form appears to be about 160% width of the main frame.
As it is OK in IE5 & Opera I guess that it has something to do with the length of the textfields, does Netscape do something different here ?

yes, Netscape 4.x uses a different mechanism for measuring form elements. I can't recall off hand what that is, but you can control the size in the CSS (use @import for other browsers) I think, then use size for Netscape 4.x. I think.
Usually I don't have an issue because I don't have forms that are so complex that it's a problem, sorry!

hey yabber - just a guess, but you might try setting the width of yer textfields like this:
<input type="text" name="first" size="25" style="width: 240px">'Web Xpertz Community Forums for Webmasters & Developers
