Description

we are in the midst of migrating from Netscape Navigator to
MSIE 5.x, and I'm wondering if you've come across this
situation and perhaps a solution: When text in an input
field is sent to the browser, if the text is in upper case,
it frequently doesn't all fit in the automatically-sized
input box that IE presents. Although I can change the text
size via css, that simply changes the input box size as
well, and the text still gets truncated at the end of the
field. Any suggestions?

Look at the file personal.stml -- there are a number of
settings used to calculate the size of an entry field, as
well as the widths of the preceeding and trailing blanks.
The width of an entry field will be based on the width of
your fixed-space font.
In personal.stml, the courier-new, 9pt is set, and widths
are entered to match this font--I've got other numbers for
other fonts, too--which font would you like to use?

I'll take a look at that file. I have no idea what font is
being used, it's whatever gets picked when inside the PRE
tags - how can I find out what's being used? I was under
the impression that the extra blanks were outside the input
field, I need them to be inside, so that the border is
bigger. And of course, this only happens with IE. <P>
thanks again
