Getting 'input type=text size=' to fill the available space

How can one get a text control's size to fill the available space e.g. the
width of the cell? I find not

input type=text size=100%

.. Thanks.

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

IE has a bug whereby it will expand the width of the textbox to its content
regardless of the width of the container surrounding the textbox when it
first renders it. I do not know of any good workaround for this other than
scripting.

Excellent! Thanks, Sean.

Interestingly I do not see that here on IE 5.5.

Excellent! Thanks, Sean.

Note: Opera 7.11 can decide to make the width zero in certain
circumstances!
