 Posted: Sun Aug 20, 2006 9:28 pm Post subject: Differently sized text boxes problem |
| |
If you look at http://www.reactioninternational.org/  you'll see that the username and password boxes on the top right are different widths even though I have specified them as the same size (15). Here's the code:
| Code: | <table>
<tr>
<td>Username</td><td><input type="text" name="username" value="" maxlength="32" class="input" size="15" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password</td><td><input type="password" name="password" value="" maxlength="32" class="input" size="15" /></td>
</tr>
<tr> |
This is driving me nuts as I'd like to have them the exact same width which might be picky but I'll die an unhappy man if I don't fix it.  Any ideas anyone? |

Exact same size for me aswell... But if you want to specify the exact pixel size to be sure...
| Code: |
<input style="width: 100px" type="....

Ah yes, I should have mentioned that it works fine in Firefox but not IE. Thanks for testing!

...or use ems if you want to specify the width proportionally rather than absolutely.
Interestingly(?!) putting just the snippet you posted into a minimal html container file seems to give the same width on both IE6 as well as FF. Looks like a rendering 'oddity' in IE6, incredible as that might seem.
Regards
Pete

IE6 has a special "quirks" mode, specially for transitional HTML. Has anyone tried IE7 and what is it like? I keep meaning to give it a go.

If I recall all modern browers have a quirks mode for undeclared DOCTYPEs, Gecko/Trident/KHTML all included (Firefox, IE and Safari/Konqueror respectively), not sure about Opera. The problem with that is each one is different so you're unlikely to get a site working exactly the same across all engines if you're using quirks.
I have IE7+ here on my laptop (it comes preinstalled with Vista). After a couple of days of using it I decided I'd had enough and installed Firefox 2 Beta.
It has slow and buggy Ajax/Javascript support, which was my main problem. A lot of the incompatabilities and bugs of IE6 are fixed but it's still far behind Firefox and even Opera as far as standards are concerned. Still lacks on the CSS support, CSS3 is a joke even on IE7.  |
