Text Field Height issue with Firefox

S

I'm running Firefox version 1.5.0.6 and when I load an html file
containing the code shown below, although both the text field and the
button are defined as 24 pixels in height, the text field is displayed
30 pixels tall. In Internet Explorer they display as specified.

Any ideas why Firefox is adding 6 pixels to the height of the text
field?

HTML is not an XML language (at least, not until you get to XHTML, which
is HTML's replacement), so you're somewhat off-topic in this forum. Try
an HTML-specific or (probably more productively) a Firefox-specific
discussion?

Sorry about that :-/

Thanks for the info - somehow I read the group name as comp.text.xhtml
