Input element in javascript

Question

How to set the size or width of an input element in javascript.

I am using input_obj.size= '40%';

But, it is not working.

You set the size as per your own example — but it doesn't take a CSS length. It takes an integer (number of characters).

The width is set as per any other element: input_obj.style.width.

You should use style attribute:

  input_obj.style.width = '40%';

If input_obj is your input obj (which I assume according to the name ;))

input_obj.style.width = '100px';
