Only other thing I'd consider trying would be try setting a min-width: in your css

input.it { min-width: 300px; }

Looks no different than with width:300px, or 215px for that matter. It looks like that is the max it will let the text input be. I know how to count px ;)

    You can try setting the <input> element's CSS position: attribute
    to absolute and see if that fixes your 'fixed-width' issue. Then
    you would know if the nesting issue is really your problem.

    Hope this helps,

    My post was not meant to show you a solution but to prove to you
    that there is nothing baked into the input element. You should
    also read the rest of my answer and check if the input element is
    nested within some other elements (probably divs) which have a
    fixed width already.

    If you still don't get it, provide us with more code.

    Best regards,

    In my initial post you see I tried setting width with inline
    style using a specific value set in px -- no luck. It wont go
    any larger than about 4/5ths of the device screen width.
