I have a normal textbox:
Code:

<input name="q" />

and it is in a set height <td></td> yet it forces the cell to become bigger, although it is not bigger than the cell.

I have attached a screenshot, and this displays my problem. The "navigation" bar is supposed to end before that massive dark green horizontal line, yet the text box pushes it down! :-(

Have you thought about setting the height and width in the input
i.e.

<input name="q" columns="20" rows="10" />

or

<input name="q" cols="20" rows="10" />

hope that helps

by the way the screenshots are not displayed so it would help if you check the url of the picture or something next time.

<input type="text" name="q" height="20" width="10" />
You need a type, and height/width i dont believe cols/rows/columns ever works on inputs they work on textareas only. Even if it does, its not a standard way of doing it and may be browser incompatible.

oops i realised that it was textarea that you put cols/rows/columns, but i dont know about height/width either

try <input type="text" name="q" size="20" />
size only changes the width as height is a default value which cannot be changed unless you use textarea instead.

see w3schools The input tag for more details on the input tag.

can you not see the pictures? They are here:

I have set the height and width, but if you look at the pictures, you will see that it isn't like that.

Sorry about the technical failure!
