Controlling input box height 1

[AlanArons]

Is there any way to control the Height of an <input> form field besides <textarea>?

You mean the dimensions of the text box or the number of lines it can show?


For dimensions you could use CSS.

.mytextbox{
height:20px;
}

However, increasing the size of a text box does not let it show more lines, if you want multi line input only the textarea can do that.

Actually, I want to make it smaller. I would prefer to not use CSS. I was hoping for something like
<input type="text" name="somename" size="26" height??????>

Nope. You would have to use CSS. But then again, that's what CSS is there for -- changing the visual presentation of the elements.

You could use inline CSS if what you want is to not have to create a separate style sheet.

<input type="text" name="somename" size="26" [red]style="[/red][blue]height:10px;[/blue][red]"[/red]>

<input type="text" name="somename" style="height:15px; width:200px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; color: red; text-align: center;">
