[PHP]
<TD align="right">Name:</TD>
<TD>
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="name" SIZE="25" class="inputtext" id="f1">
</TD>
</TR>

<TR>
<TD align="right">Address:</TD>
<TD>
<textarea NAME="address" cols="21" rows="2" wrap="on" style="overflow:hidden; width: 173px;" class="inputtext" id="fa"></textarea>
</TD>

</TR>

[/PHP]

Basically the width of the textinput area for address is shorter than the one for name, ive tried specifying an exact px width but it comes up different in IE.
So using % its fine but i have some dynamic validation messages appearing beside them which change the width aswell, any suggestions? specify td width?

edit: never mind, got it, damn ie/mozila incompatibilities

Try a width style for the textbox as well.

Consider moving on from using tables for form layout.
