Is this what you want? Watch for word-wrap.

<html>
<head>
<title>width.htm</title>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="300">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<input type="text" style="width:300">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>


Not that "width=" value equals the "width:" value.

What's 'NADA !'?

Thanks for your help, but what happens when the table width is 100% instead
of "300" ?

Try:

<input type="text" name="what" style="width:100%">

IIRC, you tried <input ... size="100%">. That is something different
(and incorrect, the value of the size attribute should be a number,
not a percentage).

And it works for me. Example code:
<table style="width:100%">
<tr><td><input type="text" style="width:100%"></td></tr>
</table>
So, what are you doing differently.

Are you sure? If yes, your user agent is
borken. Re-install, update or replace it.
