How to make an input text box width just enough to show one character

Asked by chennarh in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Font Creator

Tags: width, input, html, text, box

Try this html code in IE ( i have 6.0):
<HTML>
<style>
.mybox { padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; height: 19px;  }
</style>
<input   type="text" name="text1" value = "W" maxlength = "1" size = "1"    class=mybox >
<input   type="text" name="text2" value = "WWWWW" maxlength = "5" size="5"   class=mybox >
</HTML>

You will notice that the width of the first box is much more than it is needed to show one char.  setting the padding is not helping. Any ideas to reduce the display width??
