Controlling form fields in Netscape 4...

The fields are too wide, need suggestions.

Hi,

My form fields look great in IE using CSS, but are extremely too long in NN4.

Below is some of the form field entries for controlling size:

<input maxLength="40" name="Name" size="39" style="font-size: 10px; color: #6D6D36; font-family: Arial; border: 1 solid #6D6D36">

<textarea name="BusinessDescription" rows="3" cols="46" wrap="virtual" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; color: #6D6D36; border: 1 solid #6D6D36"></textarea></td>

Those are the two I am having trouble with.

When I decrease the size to fit for NN4, it is way too small on IE.

Is there a different way to define the field size that is more compatible for both browsers?

Thanks!

You can use an inline style to set the width. Netscape 4 will ignore it. Then use the size to get the width you want in Netscape - most other browsers will use the style.

<input maxLength="40" name="Name" size="39" style="width: 200px; font-size: 10px; color: #6D6D36; font-family: Arial; border: 1px solid #6D6D36">

>>>>> font-family: Arial;

Uce courier font family instead.
