361356 - Search box resizing updated to work with Firefox 1.x and 2.0

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Jacob Levine]

The previous version only appeared to work for Firefox 1.x. New version tested under Firefox 2.0 (Windows XP) and 1.5.0.6 (SUSE Linux). The "max-width" property appears necessary to force the search box to a size smaller than the default while "width" property appears necessary to force the search box to a size larger than the default.
