Limiting textbox size in Netscape 6

[kevinj]

I have a simple form with a number of textboxes. I've set the size="50" maxlength="50" on all of them. They're fine in IE but in Netscape 6, the textboxes are way longer than the 50 characters I specified and the page now scrolls horizontally. Is there a way to shrink those boxes in NS6?

All my textboxes are similar to this:

<input type="text" size="50" maxlength="50" name="BILLING_INSTITUTION">

Thanks.

Noboddy uses Netscape 6. It has a million and one bugs (especially 6.0), so I wouldn't get overly stressed about small things.

I think I skipped from NS4 to NS7, but I've never encountered any problems with the input field size, on my own site or anybody else's. Are you using CSS to control any of the form's appearance?

Are you refering to Netscape 6.0+ or just Netscape 6.0 (not 6.1/6.2)? My site has does some unexplained things in Netscape 6.0, such as tiling background images in cells that I didn't ask it to be tiled, showing fonts as the wrong colour etc. etc.

I am using CSS to control the look of text on the site but that's all I use it for. The version I tested on was 6.1. Thanks.

Over the past 3½ months, I've had over 15,000 visitors. Not one have been using Netscape 6.0 or 6.1, and I've only had about 5 Netscape 6.2 users.
