How to get equal width of input and select fields
Updated answer
Here is how to change the box model used by the input/textarea/select elements so that they all behave the same way. You need to use the box-sizing
property which is implemented with a prefix for each browser
-ms-box-sizing:content-box;
-moz-box-sizing:content-box;
-webkit-box-sizing:content-box;
box-sizing:content-box;
This means that the 2px difference we mentioned earlier does not exist..

note: On IE it works from version 8 and upwards..

if you reset their borders then the select
element will always be 2 pixels less than the input
elements..

I tried Gaby's answer (+1) above but it only partially solved my problem. Instead I used the following CSS, where content-box was changed to border-box:
input, select {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Add this code in css:
select, input[type="text"]{
width:100%;
box-sizing:border-box;
}
