The two text input boxes are not the same length on admin_login.asp and its been grinding my nerves since the first snitz I installed.

Adding style="width:150px;" to the attributes of the input boxes will fix this little quirk for users of most version 4.x+ browsers.

I think the reason they are not the same length is because of one of them being of type password

I only notice it in IE6 under Windows XP. IE6 under Windows2000, both boxes are the same length.

Well, in that case it would have only been grinding my nerves since installing my second snitz

Either way, might be nice to see it fixed for those crazy XP users out there.

Why don't we give the boxes a size?
<input type="text" name="Name" size="25">

<input type="Password" name="Password" size="25">
If I am understanding correctly what the problem is.

Even when you assign a 'size' IE 6.x for Windows XP gives password and text boxes different lengths because a text 'character' is apparently shorter than a password 'character'. The only way to get the two boxes the same length in IE 6.x WinXP is to use style tags, because then its based on px instead of on 'characters'

Browsers that don't support style sheets will just ignor it, and browsers that do will be assured to get the boxes the same length.

It's because of the mask character that IE 6 in Windows XP uses. It's larger than usual. Even setting the size to 25 does not have an affect.

Is this problem Browser/system specific. I do not see any size difference.

Yes, as far as I know, it only affects Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP.

Which happens to be the fastest growing user segment now. (WinXP+ / IE 6+)
