   I was trying to change the size of the input text box on my comments. I want them larger. Even I did change the size value on wp-comment.php (to any value) the box stay just the same. I also checked the css, but I have no clues. Is there any other place where I need to change it??
   I have WP 1.2.2, my url: http://faratro.com

   Have a look at the bottom of this page:

   The areas you need are in wp-comments.php - did you refresh the page using ctrl-f5 after the change ?

   Thank podz

   Yes, I did refresh, even cleaned the cache.
   I changed all size values at wp-comment.php, somenthing like this:

   <input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo $comment_author_email; ?>" size="60" tabindex="2" />

   The original size was set at "20", but the box is always the same. I also searched for any code on the CSS file, but I couldn't find any size related code....

   " I also searched for any code on the CSS file, but I couldn't find any size related code...."

   That's because there's nothing there initially. Just add this to your css:

   form input {
width: 120px;
}

   (Edit: podz's suggestion below is better, as it avoids any conflict with other input fields on a page.)

   #commentform #author {
   width: 80%;
   }
   #commentform #email {
   width: 60%;
   }

   Drop that at the bottom of your wp-layout.css, and adjust to suit :)
