textbox madness

hey guys,

i asked recently how do i make my select boxes the same as my input boxes and i got this:

input, select {
width: 11em;
height: 12px;
}

i tested a text box and select box next to each other with the code below and they are not the same height. am i doing something wrong?

thanx

oh also, if you change the height on a text box and when i type in it the bottom gets cut off (the text is too big for the text box) how do i solve this? change the text hieght in my css? or somehting else? because i tried that and didnt work! maybe im doing something wrong, just asking if anyone knew!

thanx again



<style type="text/css">

#Login {
margin-left: 5em;
font: 11px/18px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

input, select {
width: 11em;
height: 12px;
}

input.button {
width: 5em;
height: 22px;
background-color: #e6e6e6;
border-color: #ccc #666 #666 #ccc;
cursor: pointer;
}

</style>

that shall do itDo not define fonts in pixels (px).hey guys thanx for ur reply. that fixed the problem!

define it in what then other than pixels?

cheers!Myself I usually define in em. So long as it's a relative unit though you should be fine. Using absolute units such as pixels though should never be used.Originally posted by Mr Herer

actually, pixels is supposed to be a relative unit. IE i guess doesnt support this :(
