Text doesn't start from the left top of input text field

Question

I have an input field with a fixed height. The text is vertically centered, but I want it at the top left of the input.

CSS

.wideInput{
    text-ali         


        

Answer 1

To align left and top you would have to set a smaller height and a padding-bottom:

text-align: left;
padding:  0.4em;
padding-bottom:190px;
width: 400px;
height: 10px;
