Change Input Text Size Dynamically

[jsulman]

Is there a way I can change the size of a input text dynamically?

I have a form with the following field:
<input type="text" name="month" id="dobMonth" size = "1">

I hoped I could do something like this:

var vMonth = document.getElementById("dobMonth") vMonth.size= 8

and have the size change on the form but it does not work. The size stays the same.

Thank you in Advance

Do you want to change the size of the text in the textbox or the length (how many characters it can display) of the textbox.

The Size attribute changes the length of the text box.

How are you calling the script?
Technically speaking it should work like that.

Probably a typo, but both of your assignments are missing semi colons ";" at the end.

I figured it out. Use a css and modify the object.style.width property.
