I am wondering where can I find out what the default height and width of form elements are? I am going to play around with styling the actual elements to see what css properties can be applied, but for times sake I am hoping that somebody knows or can point me in the right direction on this topic.

I believe it depends on what default font is used, since form elements initially get their dimensional attributes from the font spec.

You can set their widths and heights in px in css

[formula]

Javascript shoult do the trick

You can find the width of your input elements like this:

<input id="in1">
<script>
var in1 = document.getElementById("in1");
alert("innerWidth = "+in1.clientWidth+" - innerHeight = "+in1.clientHeight+"\nouterWidth = "+in1.offsetWidth+" - outerHeight = "+in1.offsetHeight);
</script>
