Bug 13483 – TEXT INPUT HEIGHT FIXED - Text inputs are not sizable on Safari.

• Status: VERIFIED
• Resolution: WORKSFORME

TEXT INPUT HEIGHT FIXED - Text inputs on IE and FireFox are sizable. On Safari they are not. As such, we ended up having to use TEXT AREAS for our tables instead.

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

Kanda, we need a test case for this.  By "sizable" do you mean using CSS to set the height of the element, or using CSS to set the height of the font, or something else?

Again, please try a nightly WebKit build.  Text input fields have had a "make-over" in WebKit, and they probably work the way you expect them to now.  See this blog post for more details:

Kanda, can you please try and provide details in your bug reports that we can use to investigate your issues?  At the very least we need either a URL to a page demonstrating the issue, or a standalone code snippet that shows the problem.

As Dave mentioned, <input type="text"> elements are styleable via CSS in WebKit.  This includes specifying a height.  If this is not what you are referring to, please reopen this bug report with more specific information about your problem.

This issue is now fixed on the nightly build.

Thank you all.

Kanda.
