I am having a issue with some HTML forms I am creating.

I have a form that uses both Text input as well as TextArea boxes.

I want to make the width of each of these the same, for beauty's sake.

The only way I know to adjust the width of an <input type="text"> element is with the size attribute (eg <input type="text" name="name" size="80">

With the textarea, the only way know is to adjust the cols attribute <textarea name="name" cols="80">

Now, I thought I had them looking pretty even when testing them in my default browser (Camino). Then I launched Safari and noted that the input field was significantly longer than the textarea.

I launched IE 6 on my PC at work, and the textarea was slightly longer than the input field (the opposite of Safari).

I do not have custom style sheets running in any pf my browsers. I was wondering if someone out there can help me to make everything the same width or if I am pretty much stuck doing with different browsers idea of things.

Other info, the form elements are inside a table, 2 columns by 6 rows). I have tried applying css to the <TD> tag (<TD class="classname">, while this does set the fonts within the input and textarea fields the way I want them, it does not help the width of the field, and different browsers still do thier own thing.

Advice appreciated.

Peace,

and in response:

you can use css to control the width:

[input type='text' style='width: 50%']

and that will make the text box half the width of the window.
