I am creating a responsive website and I am coming across a strange problem with my search text box. I want the text box to span the full width parent element. Here are the css rules applied to the text box.

#searchform input[type = text] {
  border: 0;
  padding: 8px 0;
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 640px;
  top: 0;
  margin:0;
position: relative;
}

I have the view port setup correctly and every else works fine, but there is white space on the right side of the text box. After tinkering with the css properties in Chrome to get live updates using Chrome Developer Tools I stumbled across a very strange partial solution. If i disable the width: 100%; property and re-enable it the white space disappears. I reload the page and its back again.

How can I fix this issue?

Can you post some more HTML and CSS or a link to a live version of the page?

Just so I'm clear, is the problem with the text box not aligning correctly with your submit button?

If that is an issue, then change your top: 8px to top: 0px on your #searchform input[type="submit"] element.

That's the only issues I'm seeing at the moment.

I viewed it again today and it just fixed itself.

Could this be down to your cache being refreshed?
