Attribute for <INPUT ...>
SIZE =integer
SIZE sets how wide a
text or
password
field should be. It has no effect on any
other type of field.
<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/html/mycgi.pl">
age: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="age" SIZE=2><BR>
first name: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="first" SIZE=10><BR>
last name: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="last" SIZE=30><BR>
cosmic plane of origin:<BR> <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="plane" SIZE=70>
<P><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="submit">
</FORM>
gives us these fields of various length:
SIZE does not set the maximum length of what can be typed in. Use
MAXLENGTH for that. Avoid setting SIZE to a length of 1. Although 1 is
technically a valid size, many browsers have a hard time rendering a field that short.
Try a size of 2.
