I would suggest the following definition of your text input info.
INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="name" VALUE="" SIZE=30 MAXLENGTH=75
This will set the box to 30 characters wide and allow 75 characters
input. Changing SIZE to 75 and it will show all the 75 character
capability.
Using <TEXTAREA NAME="name" ROWS=7 COLS=27></TEXTAREA> you get a
similar text input ability, but it is defined by number of columns
and number of rows only.
