Smaller form fields?

Having seen a few on other sites thought I might ask for help.

I notice around and about that website that offer a 'search this site' option tend to have a search field that is smaller than the standard ones. (If that makes sense)

I would ideally like to get my hands on a simple <form> that is not a big as the ones created in DW or by standard HTML coding. (mainly height wise) Is there a way? or is everyone using JS for the search boxes?

Hope this makes sense

like this:

<input type="text" size="10"> ?

Thanks...

Am i right in thinking thought that that will NOT affect the height?

I am more interested in trying to not make the fields as tall as they normally are.

A smaller font maybe? It will affect the height.

<input type="text" style="font-size:10px;" ... />

will try..... thanks very much!!!!!

whoops... sorry.

use height in its style...;)

<input type="text" style="height: 10px" ... />

you will need to change the font size too, otherwise the bottom of the input will be cut off....

Or with a border (even taller);

<input type="text" size="10" style="border:1px solid #000;font-size:10px;" />
