In FF, multiline textboxes render significantly differently than in IE. IE respects the specified box height in pixels and the selected font, FF does not - it somehow appears to default to the height of the box when originally designed, and the font is a small monospaced font (maybe Courier). In the case I'm working on right now, I originally designed textboxes to be 4 lines high (64px). I later changed them to be 10 lines high (170px). IE has updated fine, FF still shows just 4 lines.

Another rendering difference is that a single-line textbox renders narrower than in IE for a given .Columns specification.

It would be nice to get the forms to look the same in FF as in IE. Am I missing settings I should be using for these controls? Are there any workarounds if not? I don't want to use any 3rd party controls, at this point I'll accept rendering differences in FF instead.
Regards. Al
