what version of IE? as it is, my IE6 displays that input as wide as
you want it to.

Before embarking on anything too crazy design-wise, i'd check out
www.456bereastreet.com. It has a handy article or 2 on styling FORMS.
Basically, dont bother. Widths and basic formatting are fine, but I
dont think padding works (for example).

just a few css tips in general; 

0px = 0em = 0 elephants = 0 any unit. If you want to save on a little
filesize, drop the units from any size (etc) that is 0px. padding:0
will do fine.

another short hand you can use here is font. font: 9pt sans-serif; is
shorter than your current 2 properties. Still, it's a matter of
personal choice. Same with padding and margin. Bereastreet also has 2
nice articles on shorthands.
