Textbox width, Netscape

[Jay Vinton]

A server control textbox width displays in IE6 the same as in the 2003 IDE.
But in Netscape 8 and Firefox 1.0.4 the width is only about 1/3 of it's
design setting.

I've tried putting the textbox in a table and in a panel but with no change.

Does anyone know how to get around this?

RE: Textbox width, Netscape

This is an issue with multi browser (or multi version) support for an
application. You might want to use percentages to set the size of your
control relative to the page, instead of hard coded pixel sizes.

haven't tried it in Netscape but it IE & Firefox the following textbox has
the same size setting the width using css.

In my stylesheet:
input.UsernameT extBox
{
font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, Arial;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: normal;
color: #000000;
width: 200px;
}

and on my page:
<input type="text" id="usernameTex tBox" class="Username TextBox" />
