VS.NET and Firefox

Hey guys,

I'm having some trouble with the way that Mozilla firefox shows form fields that were designed in the Visual Studio.NET 2003 Designer.
Basically if I have a Textarea (just a normal .NET Textbox with TextMode set to Multiline) and I drag it to the size I want it looks fine in IE, however firefox seems to ignore it and display it as a tiny field.
How am I supposed to define the size of form fields in Mozilla?

Text boxes and such vary by font and character size - they are sized for x characters/columns wide by y lines tall. The gecko browsers, at least at larger screen resolutions, tend to display text smaller than ie does. So, a box that's 50 characters wide looks smaller in gecko than in ie.

On my 1600x1200 display, I have to increase font's by 120-125% in mozilla/firefox to get them close to ie visual representations.

One solution might be to use css to define font sizes by % - e.g. normal = 100% and change the css to increase the size by 20-25% if gecko's are detected. - Note that some font's scale better than others, and some scale well in certain sizes, put poorly in other sizes. You'll have to do a little experimentation.

Actually it seems to like it when I use CSS

As its a server control I think ASP.NET translates it to style="WIDTH:xxxpx". I will check though
