Hey everyone,
Thanks for all of the great information. I didn't expect so many thoughtful
responses. Becuase our site wants to be as accessible and usable, I will go ahead and
add the size attributes to the input tags for browsers that cannot access the style
sheets.

In my opinion, you still need to set a "default" width for the element
using the size attribute, for those without CSS. Yes, it will be
overridden with CSS for 99% of your browsing audience, but it safer to
put *something* in there as default, since you have no idea how a
browser will behave without it.

I've noticed a proportional width works nicely for the css width property. I have
noticed in my limited browser testing that the fields may never be completely
predictable but I can accept some minor fluctuations.

To get around IE nasty habit of expanding boxes to the destruction of
the layout, I set {width : 80%;} with success.

I will certainly use the maxlength attribute in the input tags.
Thanks again.
