Does anyone else find that when they use a table to handle the layout for a
FormView template, and they have textboxes set to width="100%", that the
rendered input is wider than the cell they are in, even when they are empty?

try setting the width to 98%

Tried that, but it still makes a hell of a mess of the layout depending on
the browser size. At high resolutions it's smaller than the cell, but on low
resolutions it's still larger than the cell.

The most common answer to resolve it is to use a fixed width, but what's the
point in having relative sizing for web controls if the only way to make it
work is by making them fixed size?

And yes, the controls size correctly in Mozilla or FireFox, so maybe it's
just an IE problem?

Its a bit diffucult withou the code, but yes, Explorer is different, but in
all fairness, it is quite forgiving ususally and lets you get away with bad
css.

Im sure there is a way around this, post ur code and Ill take a look at it.
