Default Text Box Size in Netscape 4?
Trying to build a cross-browser form and it seems that Netscape 4 has a default text box size. Is there a way around this?

I had used

<input type="text" size="18" name="semail" maxlength="40">

but it is disregarding the size I have set. The textbox that it inserts is way too big.

Would have posted this to the design form, but it seems to have disappeared?

Yeah,

I've had that issue as well... I never did find a solution (I guess it wasn't too big of a concern for me)...

All I did was decrease the size... It ends up looking smaller in IE, but at least it doesn't mess up the page in Netscape, which was my biggest concern.

I haven't tried this, but - try setting the font, width and height properties of the textbox with a stylsheet.

I will. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Although, I thought that Netscape 4 had problems with CSS? But I could be wrong.

I notice on devarticles, their subscription box is the same size on Netscape 4 and IE 6, how did you do it guys?

That's weird... In Mozilla, the text box is smaller... I noticed that on most vBulletin sites I'm on...
