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 6.1, the textboxes are way longer than the 50 characters I specified. Is there a way to shrink those boxes in NS6?

Welcome to Webmasterworld

The maxlength refers to the maximum amount of chatacters that can be entered into the box. Not the size of the box itself. the width of the box is determined by the size="50" that you have specified. This size is measured in pixels not in characters.
