Input Button Height?

[motion-ex]

Hello i would like to know if there is a way i can use to control the height (not width which is controlled by size) of an input (submit) button in an html form?

input
{
    height: 20px; /* or whatever you want it to be */
}

I would use that or use <input type="image"> and have an image that makes that height.

when you do not specify a height, what settings does it use in FF and IE6+

That depends ;-) It uses whatever the browser defaults happen to be. It's also dependent on font-size, and whether there is a user-stylesheet installed.

IME you're probably better off setting padding on the element, rather than height. That way the text doesn't try to escape from the button when the user makes it taller than your specifed height.
