In what way is the TD 'static'?
What units do you want the length value to be in?

It usually best to describe your intentions along with your question. That
way you stand a better chance of someone giving an better approach overall
to your problem. So why to do you want to calculate the length and what
exactly do you mean by length anyway?

Anyway wrong NG. The problem seems 100% clientside.

The sample here:

<td width="250">
<input type=text size=115 value=Rs("ItemName")>
</td>
<td width="100">
<input type=text size=50 value=Rs("ItemType")>
</td>

Every time i have different amount of <TD>s for display and every time i
make first width of TD and after accordingly size of input. I would like to
calculate dinamicaly size of <input> based on width of parent <TD>
Thanks for respond

Don't use size attribute (in fact don't use width attribute either)

<table style="table-layout:fixed">
<tr>
<td style="width:250px">
<input type=text style="width:100%" value=Rs("ItemName")>
</td>
<td style-"width:100px">
<input type=text style="width:100%" value=Rs("ItemType")>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

table-layout:fixed indicates that your TD widths should be honored. The
input widths of 100% indicate that it should take up all the available space
within the TD.
