Thought I'd make a tip of this, it comes up so often:

<tip type="Same length for input fields in each browser" author="ppk">
- Use CSS to set the width of your input fields (and note that some browsers
will also give this width to checkboxes and radios, so you may have to use a
class for your text fields).
- When you've done this, revel in the fact that it looks the same in every
browser...except in Netscape 4.
- Add a SIZE attribute to each input and fiddle with its value until the
inputs have the same length in NN4 as in all other browsers.
- That's the trick: SIZE for NN4, CSS width for all other browsers.
</tip>

ppk
