Setting <input type="button"...> width in Netscape?

[casa3311]

I have a form in which I would like to be able to control the size of my submit and reset buttons. I have 3 buttons which I would like to all be the same size. This is no problem in IE. I just set my height and width in my style sheet. However, Netscape does not seem to recognize the height/width. It adds a huge amount of padding width to my buttons and they are different sizes depending on what is entered in the value. Does anyone have a solution for this?

My code is as follows:


.subadd { WIDTH: 250px; HEIGHT: 27px; }

...

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;subadd&quot; class=&quot;subadd&quot; value=&quot;Save & Enter Additional Information&quot;>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;subret&quot; class=&quot;subadd&quot; value=&quot;Save & Return to Main Menu&quot;>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; name=&quot;rtmain&quot; class=&quot;subadd&quot; value=&quot;Return to Main Menu Without Saving&quot;>

I fought with this for a long time, finally I ended up making images for buttons instead, there were too many inconsistencies between all of the browsers we supported

Sorry, maybe there's a better answer, but I never found it. (I got pretty close adding non-breaking spaces around the values, but that was, ummm... ugly)

I tried adding padding to my buttons to make them the size I wanted. It works fine in IE, but NN not only ignores the padding, for some reason it stacks the buttons VERTICALLY! I guess if you're aiming to suit NN you just can't do it (big surprise).

Well, I've fought with this all day and since my default intranet browser is NN, then I'm working on the image route. Thanks anyway.
