What I do is define the width of the form field in my ie css file ( I always do a browser check and use different css files for netscape ie etc), then simply define the size on the html page for the netscape version.

I have all of this written into ASP sub routines, and the sub has saved a heck of a lot of time and space! The whole asp file which holds all of the form building routines takes care of NN4 irregularities, and takes care of form validation automatically.

The problem with making it smaller is that if it's small enough to fit in NS it's too small for the other browsers. Thanks for pointing out that other thread - I probably should have looked further through the forum but I don't think I would have thought to look under "expanding text boxes". Thanks to flipper for the CSS trick - I had thought of that before but I thought I'd ask here to see if there was some sort of trick to it - works fine.

This was taken from NS 4.7. Pretty ugly eh?

As far as the fix, there are several that you can try. One is to surround the box with to try to control size. Another option would be to try to reduce the size of the text box. Or to have a different page load for NS.

Here is another thread on the subject.
