Unless you provide a link to a page demonstrating the problem, no one will be able to offer much in the way of specific help.

Which browser are you using. I went to that page in Safari and FF for Mac, and the text field is fine. You can see all 6 characters at once.

i am using IE… here is a screen shot of how it looks on both my work computers in IE…

The code that adds the input field set the size to 0:

<input type="text" tabindex="3" maxlength="6" name="publicKey" size="0" class="text_input">

And in the css, the size is reset to 45%:

.format_text input, #commentform input, #commentform textarea { width: 45%; padding: 0.214em; border-width: 0.071em 0.071em 0.071em 0.071em; }

I guess Internet Explorer is having an issue with the 0 or the 45%. I would try setting the width to a pixel size instead of %, and if that doesn’t work, I’d try finding the template that is putting that size 0, and changing it.

cooper,

The only site i been managing for someone i used an ftp since we hosted it so i am not sure where to find that part of the code to edit. If i could download all the folders for the site i would be able to find it but since i am new to using their actualo editor i dont know where to go lol can you let me know where you swe those 2 pieces of code? Thanks!

In the WordPress admin side, go to Appearance > Editor.

In there, select “Stylesheet (style.css)”.

Scroll until you find “.format_text input, #commentform input, #commentform textarea”

In it, change the 45% to 25px (or any other number you think will do).

If that doesn’t work. click on “Comments (comments.php)”, and look for
<input type="text" tabindex="3" maxlength="6" name="publicKey" size="0" class="text_input">

Change the 0 to 6.

Not trying to sound like a total moron but i cant find either of those in either page. I seem to not find any width for the comments form.

Sorry, the stylesheet is custom/layout.css I don’t know if you can access it through the editos, since it’s in a separate folder. You may have to access it via FTP.

As for the comments template, I assumed it was in comments.php, since that’s where most themes have it, but your theme may have it in a different file.

i searched both files and others i was able to access in the editor but couldnt find that info anywhere. damn lol

AHHH i got it! had to go into the thesis custom file editor not the other one and there it was! Thanks everyone!
