Using size to size inputs

2006.04.24

My first post at Bite Size Standards went live today: Using size to size inputs.

size of <input> specifies a functional property. The length of an input field is a programmatical decision because it provides an important cue as to the type of input expected: a cue that should be preserved even when the page is not styled.

It’s mostly a result of the discussion that generated over the Forms markup and CSS post.
