Re: FORMS and sizing in Netscape

Welcome! Thanks for trying, but that didn't work.  The only thing that=20
seems to work is making the input field smaller... .but then it's TINY in=
 IE.

Here's the form:

       <FORM METHOD=3DPOST ACTION=3D"/cgi-bin/search/hyperseek.cgi"
NAME=3D"SearchForm">
           <INPUT NAME=3D"Terms" MAXLENGTH=3D800 SIZE=3D15 VALUE=3D"">
           <INPUT TYPE=3Dhidden NAME=3D"howmuch" VALUE=3D"ALL">
           <INPUT TYPE=3Dsubmit VALUE=3D"Go">
       </FORM>

I need to make it fit into a  cell width=3D"150" with the go button in the=
=20
same line with the field <sigh>
