HTML input element wider than Containing Div

Question

I have an html element that is contained within a div. Height are dictated by the outer div and the height and width of the input control are 100%. At the most basic level,

Answer 1

I know this post is fairly old, but it's a common problem and no one posted any good answers...

The following HTML code looks fine. But when I add the doctype, the problem appear

div.field_container
{
    height: 25px;
    width: 150px;
    border: 1px solid red;
}
div.field_container input
{
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
}

    

To fix the width / height problem, you can add padding to your field_container, but that will make the container bigger.

div.field_container
{
    height: 25px;
    width: 150px;
    padding-bottom: 6px;
    padding-right: 4px;
    border: 1px solid red;
}
div.field_container input
{
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
}

    

If you can't change the container width, you can also use the following trick, but that will still increase the height

div.field_container
{
    height: 25px;
    width: 150px;
    padding-bottom: 6px;
    border: 1px solid red;
}
div.field_container input
{
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
}
