How to increase input box height in HTML

In this article, you will learn how to adjust the height of input boxes in HTML. Sometimes, default input box sizes don't quite fit your design requirements, and you need a quick way to make them taller.

Adjusting Input Box Height with CSS #

To increase the height of an HTML input box using CSS, you can add a style rule to your HTML file or an external stylesheet.

<input type="text">
<style>
  input[type="text"] {
    height: 40px;
  }
</style>
 

Explanation:

1. We select the input element with the attribute type='text' to target text input boxes.
2. The height property is set to the desired height in pixels (e.g., 40px).

Increase Input Height Using Inline Style #

Alternatively, you can set the input box's height directly in the HTML using the style attribute.

<input type="text" style="height: 40px;">

Explanation of the above example:

1. The style attribute is applied directly to the <input> element.
2. We set the height property within the inline style to control the input box's height.
