I believe that when coding for mobile devices the style attribute is deprecated and you have to put everything in classes in css.
Try that and by all means if thats true, confirm that for me.

It looks like that is the max it will let the text input be. I know how to count px ;) Kevin On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 10:34 AM, Brandtley McMinn <[email protected]> wrote: You can try setting the <input> element's CSS position: attribute to absolute and see if that fixes your 'fixed-width' issue.

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, Martin On 5 Jul 2010 18:09, "Kevin A.

It wont go any larger than about 4/5ths of the device screen width.
