I’m trying to adjust the width of an input element on my webpage using JavaScript, but the method I attempted is ineffective. Instead of using properties like size with percentage values, I’ve learned that directly adjusting the CSS style might be more appropriate. I need guidance or example code on how to properly set the width of an input element using JavaScript.

Here is a sample approach:

let textInput = document.getElementById('myInput');
textInput.style.width = '40%'; // Correctly adjust the element's width

Any insights or alternative methods that ensure the width is set correctly would be appreciated.

hey, try ensuring js runs after dom loaded. sometimes external css might override inline width. one trick is using textInput.style.cssText=‘width:40% !important’ to force it. hope this hlps!
