There is a better way to do this. Since NN4 doesn't take CSS styles on 
input elements, you can set the size attribute of your input elements to 
a good size for NN4, and then set a width for them using CSS -- other 
browsers will pay attention to the CSS over the inline size attribute. 
This neatly side-steps browser detection in this case.

HTH,
