How to Change the Text Box Width With HTML Code
You can use a text box to gather data from a Web form, such as a person's name or email address. The default width of a text box is 20 characters, which may be too large or small for your content. The <INPUT> tag allows you to create and modify a text box in your HTML code. One of its attributes is size, which handles the box's width. Adjusting the size adjusts the text box as well.
