textbox sizing problems with firefox browser

[Rookie]

Does anyone know why the standard 'width='300px' won't work in a <asp:textbox></asp:textbox> tag?

What is the correct way to change the size of a textbox to display properly in firefox?

Thanks in Advnace!

<asp:TextBox ID="txtMiddleName" CssClass="textbox" TabIndex="7" runat="server" Width="25px" MaxLength="2" value = "M" onfocus="if(this.value=='M')this.value=''; doHighlightsmall(this,'on')" onBlur="doHighlightsmall(this,'off');"></asp:TextBox>

The class "textbox" does not contain any height or width constraints

Sorry I left off the url http://www.undersound2.com/dev_createaccount.aspx.

I sovled this isssue temporarily by including the width in the css class. This means I have to create a bounce of classes for each size text box which is kind of a pain. If you can help that would be great.

Thanks, Joel

Ahh. I think this was a bug in asp.net 1.x. This works properly in asp.net 2.0. If you view source in IE and firefox, you'll notice the style="width:123px;" is being left out when the server renders the page for fire fox.

If you can, switch to asp.net 2.0 or manually add the width style in...

<asp:textbox runat="server" id="mybox" style="width:123px;" />

It does on my projects. Please provide the entire code you are using for <asp:textbox /> and a url to an example of your problem.
