Changing the size of text input field in xml style coldfusion forms

Question

Does anyone know how to get the size attribute of a text
input field to work in a coldfusion xml form?
Example: When I enter the following code and view the form in
a browser, all of the fields are the exact same size.
<cfform format="xml" name="testingform" method="post">
<cfformgroup type="horizontal">
<cfinput type="text" name="first_name" size="10"
label="First Name">
<cfinput type="text" name="middle_init" size="2"
label="Middle Initial">
<cfinput type="text" name="last_name" size="20"
label="Last Name">
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>

Answer 1

Indeed a mistake in the Coldfusion engine. Or is there some
reason for it? In any case, you should report it.
Look in the source, and you will see why it happens. The XML
form makes use of the stylesheet
/CFIDE/scripts/css/default_style.css. There the width attribute is
hard-coded for the cfinput element, thus
.cfInput, .cfTextarea {
font-size: .8em;
font-family: inherit;
width: 200px;
I would replace that block with
.cfInput {
font-size: .8em;
font-family: inherit;
.cfTextarea {
font-size: .8em;
font-family: inherit;
width: 200px;
