Glad I'm not the only one who this annoys immensely!! It will work okay on
the newer browsers, but earlier browsers won't recognise it....it depends
what platforms and browsers are being run on your target users' computers
really.
If you want to get even more depressed check it out on Mac Netscape!

OK ... what a pain in the butt!
How does one deal with the different physical size rendered for textboxes by
Netscape and IE? The physical size for a textbox with a "size" attribute of
20 in Netscape is huge compared to IE. What gives?
I'm working around this by using a "size" attribute that is Netscape
physically sized and also including a "style" parameter overriding the
"size" in IE with precise sizing info. Appears to work for IE 5 and Netscape
4.6 ... but will it work in all browsers?
<input type="text" size="10" style="width:120px heigth:22px" name="foo">
Is there some other easier way of dealing with this?
Thanks for any info,
Allison McMearty
