Would that even work Eddie? I seem to remember that if you didn't explicitly set the width of an element yourself, you can't retrieve it. Indeed, this quick test:

<html>
<body onload="alert(document.getElementById('b').style.width);">
<input type="button" id="b" value="this is a test">
</body>
</html>

...results in a blank alert in both IE and FF.

This only matters of course if you have to make all the buttons the same width dynamically, but now I'm just curious! Is there a way to do it I wonder?

Generally, what I will do to accomplish this is to use CSS. You can either use incline styles in the "style" attribute, or you could specify a style class with the styleClass attribute.

It would necessarily take a more contrived solution if you weren't able to arrive at a fixed width for all buttons and had to use the width of one button to determine the width of another button. In this case, I'd probably use a combination of style IDs (to uniquely identify the buttons whose width I wanted to modify), and JavaScript. You could then setup an onload page handler that would determine the width of the widest button, and use that to set the other button's width, using ... again ... styles -- but added programatically, rather than explicitly. For a button, whose style ID happens to be 'idMyButton', you could do something akin to:

var myButton = document.getElementById('idMyButton');
myButton.style = "width: " + width + "px;";
