How do I control the width of e-mail field

[jamesx521]

Hi,
I want to be able to control the width of the e-mail field. I use Dreamweaver and can see the change of width is happening when I change the value, but not when I preview it in the browser. It shows in the browser the standard width which is about 100 pix.



<input name="email" type="text" id="email" width="42">
<input name="Submit" type="submit" id="Submit1" value="Submit">




Thanks.

personal opinion dont use the preview feature in dreamweaver. go directly to the file, view source....if it shows the chnage has been saved but it isnt in affect then it's a code issue but if it's not in the code u know it's not being uploaded.

Thanks,
I've noticed that before with other preview instances.
But I still don't know the code of how to constrain the width of the text field for e-mail submission.

Use size=20 to specify that the field is to be displayed 20 characters wide, use maxlength=40 to specify the max number of characters which can be entered.

this is posted in the wrong forum. it should be moved to the HTML section. you can use size or style="width:" gl
