css & forms

[scorpion]

I've seen on some websites those micro form fields (i.e. the height of the field is really small so it looks neat) but when I make an HTML field it always has a standard height...is that effect achieved using CSS somehow?

The easiest way is to change the font properties:

Compare

input, select, textarea {
font: 12px Verdana;
}

with

input, select, textarea {
font: 32px Verdana;
}
