This is what IE8 and WebKit do; Gecko and Presto default to 0 per spec. 20 makes more sense, because all browsers render <input size=20> identically to plain <input>. Test case that alerts default input size and shows inputs next to each other with various sizes: data:text/html,<!doctype html> <script>alert( document.createElement("input").size );</script> <input> <br> <input size=20> <br> <input size=30> Posted from: 68.175.61.233 39830 1 ian 2010-09-28 23:16:59 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
