<input type='button' value='****'.... spacing on sides of text

[peterinwa]

With Internet Explorer if not other browsers too, the longer the text of "value" the greater the space to the left and right of the text. Thus you get buttons like:

[.a.] and [...abc...] and [.....abcd.....]

What I want is:

[.a.] and [.abc.] and [.abcd.]

Is there any way to control this? I do not want to calculate exact button sizes in pixels or points. I just want them to be more consistent.

Thanks, Peter

Actually now I've decided that it looks much more professional if all the buttons have the same width so I'm setting it with the "width" command.

Thanks, Peter
