Re: Large Blanks...

You would do something like this:

.textBox { width: 200px; }

and then:

<input type="text" class="textBox">

Hope this helps,

Tim-

What class and attribute for the CSS defines a text field?  Can you just
define it as:

textfield { font-size: 12px } etc..etc..

Netscape always seems to display text fields much larger than Internet
Explorer.  To get around this, use the size attribute to make it look good
in Netscape, and then use CSS styles to set the size for IE and everything
else.

Also, there are font tags throughout the form. I would suggest that
something there which is also adding to the size of the box.

I'm curious as to why you would use beautifully formatted XHTML, and then
use the old font tags for formatting.

Hope this helps,

Tim

Greetings!

I am back after having been booted due to local dsl mail problems.  Thanks
to my new partner and popmail on my server.

Now.. for the question I tried to post days ago...
Could someone please take a look at this form and tell me why the blanks are
so big? I specified 30 characters in Dreamweaver 3 and this is what I
have... Why???
