[thelist] CSS ? size of text input

[Adrian Fischer]

Some on asked this before and the response I used was this:

input { font-family: Courier; font-size: 14px;  }

this is a fixed width font and displays the samein ie and ns.  It may not be
the font your using for everything else but it sure makes setting up in put
boxes in both browsers easier.
