(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           khtml
Version:           3.0 (using KDE 2.1.1 )
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
OS:                FreeBSD 4.3-RC i386
OS/Compiler notes: 

Like to make a request for smaller form objects to be used by Konqueror in the future.  The text boxes now being used may be a wee bit too large but the buttons are simply WAY too big.  When designing forms to be used for web apps I find I'm getting everything to fit nicely on them Windows based browsers but Konq's buttons start getting in the way.

More specifically I'm requesting physically smaller objects for buttons and drop down boxes.  I believe this would make Konqeror much more form friendly than it is now.

their size is calculated based on the size of the applied font. make the 
font smaller and the form widgets become smaller. 

if you want exact control you need to use CSS attributes. thats what 
they're for. 

if there is a specific page with problem send url.
