textboxs change size between design and run time
VS 2008
I have a form with two textboxes and two buttons. the two text boxes are above each other and the buttons side by side below.
The two textboxes are the same width and as wide as the width from left edge of button one to right edge of button two.
When I run it both text boxes become wider. one is a password and this is not as wide as the other text box but both are wider than they were at design time.
Why? How do I fix?
TIA

This what I have at the moment top
changing it to the second bit make the textboxes stay the same as each other but slightly wider than at design.
I'll try the columns next.

<asp:TextBox ID="txtLogin" runat="server"

This makes them the correct size at design but the expand by different amounts at run time.
<asp:TextBox ID="txtLogin" runat="server" columns="20"
style="position:absolute; top: 290px; left: 226px; "></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtPassword" runat="server" columns="20"
style="position:absolute; top: 326px; left: 226px; " TextMode="Password"></asp:TextBox>

So I need to work out the design time width that gives me the required run time width?
Why is it not wysiwyg?
