Netscape problems with form field widths
Ok. So Ive made a form field with a specific width. It appears fine in IE, but in Netscape its not. A Way around this maybe?

I think if you use non-fixed-width fonts like verdana instead of fixed-width fonts like courier, you get varying widths.
There was a thread about this posted somewhere here before. Why don't you try searching for it?

Even though the width may not be quite right you can always stick maxlength in there to keep it to so many characters. Plus if you need a certain width or height you can use css.

Ok. I've pasted these message on to my friend (it isn't actually my page) and he thinks it's worked so thanks.

What method did he use? The CSS method?
