I am trying to make all the buttons on my menu the same size but they default to the size of the length of the text plus some padding. As a result one is shorter than the other. I tried size="11" in the input tag but no luck. I also tried size:11; in the style sheet.

Any idea how to make this work?

use style="height: 40px; width: 50px" or whatever.

Better yet, use em or ex as the unit of measure -- using a fixed size such as px will cause undesirable effects should the user be using a different browser magnification.

Thanks a lot.

I must have a link to outdated documentation on MS. The only option they had listed under input type=button was iSize that takes an integer value.

Again, thanks.

Scott, basically CSS doesn't care about what element you want to style. Only if it's a block level element or an in-line element (a little simplified).

msdn is good for some things but the spec is best for CSS info. :)
