Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 52500

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

if you use style="width: 100%" for <input type="file" ...> mozilla ignores it.
this is only for "file" input, not for other input fields.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. put this in a html file: <input type="file" size="20" style="width: 100%">
2. view it in mozilla 1.3 (and lower versions probably)


Actual Results:  
3. input field is not 100% long, but it has length of 20 (size).
4. conclusion: mozilla ignores 100% for input file fiels

Expected Results:  
it should show the field with width of 100% (i.e. in a table)

->form controls, but don't ask me what the expected behavior is.  (I'd be
perfectly happy with wontfix.)

But what expands? The button portion, the text field looking portion, the
whitespace between them? All of the above? But I digress...

This is a dupe of bug 52500
