Re: [ECS] HTML "button" widths Ingo Pakleppa Sun, 06 Aug 2000 17:47:58 -0700

This is because HTML does not specify at all how big the button should be, 
or what it should look like. The layout of HTML is entirely up to the 
browser, and indeed some browsers may well decide to implement buttons in 
completely different ways - for instance, Lynx would probably represent the 
button with characters: either [123456789] or [] 123456789
