Sharepoint field width

I am using SharePoint Design for the first time trying to learn and am having problems with a custom form.

It seems like it is impossible to adjust field sizes.

This is an edit forma nd i broght in fields and moved them around into a more tabular form but they will not size down so the table is really wide and unuasable.

Simple input fields and date fields are way too wide. I tried the style .ms-long{width:100px;}

but it changed every field???

when i customize forms with sharepoint designer, i don't use the Insert > SharePoint Control > Custom List Form

I create a new page in the list, and use the data view, select the list needed, show the data, select the fields I want filled in and "Insert Selected Fields as New Item Form" to a table i manually built; that way i can edit freely.

I don't know if this is a best practice, but it hasn't failed me yet.

<td style="width: 118px" class="stylex">
<SharePoint:FormField runat="server" id="ff31{$Pos}" controlmode="Edit" fieldname="Active_x0020_Deals_x0020_Name_x0" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('u',concat('ff31',$Pos),'Value','ValueChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Active_x0020_Deals_x0020_Name_x0')}" />
