[thelist] FW: problems with text field sizing and ie 5.5

[Eric Hehl]

This is a possibility, but it introduces additional difficulties.
I'd like to try and find a solution which is will degrade down to browsers
which do not support CSS.  At the moment, I'm wondering if it has something
to do with how Dreamweaver 3.0 handles textarea fields (?) I can't figure
out why only 1 field is behaving like this (and only in ie 5.5).

But, considering that you've answered my last few questions in a similar
fashion ("use style sheets") I believe I'm going to do a little more
research ;)

Thanks,

Eric

Use style sheets:

<INPUT SIZE=20  NAME etc>

input {width: 200px;}

The SIZE is for NN4, the style sheet for all other browsers. Fiddle with
them until you get approximately the same result in all browsers.
