Why the size of the input text boxes become smaller in FF 3.0 than IE or any lower version of FF?

Can anybody please help me out.

I'm assuming you mean the width?
What are you using to specify the width?

Showing us your HTML and such would help.

yes I mean to say the width of Input text boxes are smaller in FF 3.0 as compared to FF 2.0 and IE 7.0. The input boxes appear smaller in FF 3.0.

I am using .js file to set the size attribute of the input boxes like.

inputField.element.size = 17;

Thanks in advance.

You should try to use the CSS values for this stuff because it will give you much more accuracy.

I can't say for sure, but I think the element size is based on the number of characters that can fit, which means it varies with font and font-size and browser.

Without other code, I'm not 100% certain what inputField is, but try using:
inputField.style.width = "50px"

Specifying the width in pixels is the way to go and will definitely be cross compatible.
