So form controls are currently treated a bit like replaced elements, much like images and per the specification they should just get their intrinsic width for the above case. For example <img height="200" width="200" src="..." alt="..."> absolutely positioned with 'left' and 'right' set to zero will still get a width of 200px. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
