Are you saying that it IS changing based on the number of chars in the textbox, or that you WANT it to change based on the number of chars in it?

Hi Peter
Thanku so much for the reply.
If data coming from database is lengthier then it expands, I have limited space so I don’t want the textbox to expand.

Set an explicit width for the textbox control:
<asp:textbox ... width="100" />

Hi Peter,
Why dont you set the Multiline property to TRUE and specify the width in %.
Let me know if it works.
Regards,
Muskaan. :)

Hi toshi,
I agree to Muskaan.
Using the Multiline property to TRUE and specify the width in % will solve the issue.

so what your saying is is that you have a text feed coming from somewhere that has to be on one line? What I recommend doing is something like this
Dim strMyString as string
Dim intLength as integer
///retrieve your data set the string to the above variable
intLength = strMyString.length
///You now know the length of the string so preform your calculation on what
///the width of the text box should be then do this
txtMyBox.style.add("width",[percent])
where percent is how much of the screen you want the box to occupy. Note that this is going to be your only work around pragmatically because the Width() of the text box only accepts an integer. (Unless of course you create a math function that will convert your percent into an integer based upon the available screen size.)
Hope this helps.
