We just upgraded one of our Domino servers to 6.5 from 5.11. We use web login forms in our domcfg.nsf. The login forms have a text field for user id and a password field for password. Both fields html attributes are set to “Size=15”.
After the upgrade, the password field now displays a little shorter than the user id field even though they have the same html size attributes.
After further testing, it looks like this may only be an issue with IE 6 on Windows XP. When I access from Mozilla on XP it displays correctly and from IE 6 on a non-XP machine it also displays correctly.
Anyone else experienced this or have a solution?

Nancy,
You are right. Seems to be an IE on XP thing. Here is what I did:
On the HTML tab of the UserName and Password fields, put width: 200px in the style field. You can change the 200px to be smaller or larger to get the look you want.

Are the fonts for both fields the same? Netscape/Mozilla won’t care (it always uses a monospaced font), but Internet Explorer uses the currently-specified font to determine the field size (at something between an en and an em per character).

Yes, both fields are set to Arial 9.

Check the HTML source for the login page. Can you see anything in the HTML that would force different sizes? (I don’t have 6.5 installed here, so I can’t check.)

Thanks for your suggestions Stan. HTML source is the same. Also, I amended my original post after doing more testing.
