That depends on the type of input you want to influence. For text <input> elements the size attribute indicates the maximum number of characters a user can input in the field, and you can not control that using CSS.
Well, okay. But still this information must not be put into the schema/interface but in the form.
Often you also want to put a different CSS class or id on the different type of <input> fields. You do not want your checkboxes to be just as wide as your text input fields!
a) input[type="text"]
IE doesn't support that.
b) You should have the widget id/name as id on the input field or some containing div.
ids are very cumbersome - you don't want to put list all ids for all forms in your CSS. That's what classes are for. Wichert. -- Wichert Akkerman <wichert@wiggy.net> It is simple to make things. http://www.wiggy.net/ It is hard to make things simple.
