Now this is interesting. I have this app and it’s width is fixed. I got 2 rows of form entities. Having said that it was ok until i got this requirement to pit sizes. Now having size attribute I have faced with problem. The name of the field e.g First Name Goes to two lines. Coz of space available and total width of table. My boss wants every 20 character if a field size is 20 to be visible. Having those requirement the results are text going in new lone etc etc. And boss wants what he said. He is not understanding my point when I said to uselength of 20 and size of 10.
What should I do? I m under fire 
my boss doesn’t understNd
You’re loosing me here. Don’t you have an example to show?

If you really mean the size attribute, I make regular use of it in forms and I notice, Firefox is rather generous with the space shown while other browsers like Safari will cut off letters.
As donboe said, you should show some screenshots or code or something.
speaking of sizes. i seen if a field has size of 20. it will cater space for 20 words. but it u type it all in caps. its likely that only 12-15 character comes in. what’s wrong with this

No, ONE BROWSER will show 20 chars, ANOTHER BROWSER will show fewer!
Show your boss the input in Safari and he’ll see right away that setting a size to 20 will NOT necessarily mean 20 characters will show! This is why, when I am using size to tell people what kind of data I expect, and I only need like 3,4 or 5 chars, I set the size to something larger: 5, 8, or 10.
