      Is this what you want? Watch for word-wrap.

      <html>
      <head>
      <title>width.ht m</title>
      </head>
      <body>
      <form>
      <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="300">
      <tr>
      <td align="center">
      <input type="text" style="width:30 0">
      </td>
      </tr>
      </table>
      </form>
      </body>
      </html>


      Not that "width=" value equals the "width:" value.

      What's 'NADA !'?

              <input type="text" name="what" style="width:10 0%">

                  that's exactly what i tried and what i get a a "text" that's 100px wide and
                  not 100% of <TD>

                  Yours, mel

                      IIRC, you tried <input ... size="100%">. That is something different
                      (and incorrect, the value of the size attribute should be a number,
                      not a percentage).

                      And it works for me. Example code:
                      <table style="width:10 0%">
                      <tr><td><inpu t type="text" style="width:10 0%"></td></tr>
                      </table>
                      So, what are you doing differently.

                          Are you sure? If yes, your user agent is
