1) If textbox element (<input type=”text” /> ) has its width property set to inherit, then textbox doesn’t overflow. But if textbox has width set to auto, then it overflows due to browser calculating the width.
a) Why doesn’t browser take into the account that textbox is inside another element and thus adjusts the width of a textbox accordingly?
b) Based on what parameters does it decide what the width of a textbox should be?
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<style type="text/css">
p
{
width:60px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<input type=”text” />
</p>
</body>
</html>
2) Do all Html elements by default have their width value set to auto?
thanx
