Hi All,
As you may have guessed, I'm using input text elements in a table in a
liquid layout window under IE. I wish the table and the input element
to be 50% of the width of the window. The markup is shown below and
is posted at:

This simple markup works as I expect under Firefox but under IE the
table wants to show all the text in the input element. The table is
unable to shrink the input element. As I shrink the width of the
window, the table stops shrinking when the text fills the input
element. This is bad. I would like IE to behave as Firefox does.
Does anyone know how to get around this IE behavior? Thanks for your
help.
