Details

When setting width using em width ends up being a bit too large below is an example specifying 32em. Typing in 32 'M's ends up with enough space for 3 more 'M's. <html> <body> <input style="width:32em" type="TEXT"></input> </body> </html>

An 'em' unit is NOT the width of an 'M' glyph. It is defined as a square the size of the font size.
