    text
    copied!<p>I'm new to coding, and I'm struggling to make my inputs the size I need them to be.</p> <p>I have a 6 column form, with all input boxes the same size. I would like some to be wider, and some to be narrower.</p> <p>Everything I have tried to narrow the boxes causes the column to collaps</p> <p>My HTML is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt;
