Is there a way to decrease the height, of an input box?

I've spent the last 1 1/2 hours, doing a google for input box howto's, nothing I found addressed constraining the height of them?

CSS, try 'height' but, also try 'font-size', because the input's size always depends on the text's size.

You can gain couple pixels by using CSS border too,

Thanks harmonic and my pal sasha! I'll give it a whirl right now.

<input type="text" style="height: 16px;">

I usually use 16 pixels, but you can use whatever you want.
