100% and wider?

[Edwin Knoppert]

I have a textbox and have set it's width to 100%.
The textbox resides in a usercontrol but in this case i want to force the
size of the textbox let's say 500px or 100%
So if it can't fill the pagewidth (100%) a minimal size of 500px must be
enforced.

I know it can cluther the page, that is not important for that moment.

You can set 2 CSS styles for the textbox: min-width and width. Example:

<form method="post" action="">
<div style="width: 600px; overflow: scroll">
<input name="Text1" type="text" style="width: 100%; min-width:500px;"
/></div>
</form>

If you set the width of the div to less than 500 px, it will have a scroll
bar, and the text box inside it will be 500 px wide.
