Question

I have truble setting input width to 100% in my search form.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Tried setting 100% everywhere posible, put it's only changes when I set size px.

.searchInput {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
border-radius: 5px;
display: table-cell;
height: 29px;
padding: 0 4px;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 100%;
}
.searchIn {
-moz-appearance: none;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
border: 0 none;
font-size: 15px;
margin: 0;
outline-width: 0;
padding-left: 4px;
width: 97%;
}
<form method="post">
<div class="searchEn">
<input type=hidden name="do" value=search>
<input type="hidden" name="subaction" value="search" />
<div class="searchInput">
<input class="searchIn" name="story" width="100%" type="text" />
</div>
</div>
</form>

I think you can get the effect you are after by changing the display rule of .searchInput to block (and then the width to 98%) like this (demo)
.searchInput {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
border-radius: 5px;
display: block;
height: 29px;
padding: 0 4px;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 98%;
}
Or for a more complete fix (addressing a bunch of padding and width issues) you could use this CSS (demo) (changes are commented)
.searchEn {
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #FFFFFF 0px, #DFDFDF 100%);
border-radius: 5px;
color: #000000;
/*Push the right side over slightly more*/
padding: 4px 6px 4px 4px;
}
.searchInput {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
border-radius: 5px;
display: block;
height: 29px;
/*Remove padding from this element (now in the parent element)*/
padding: 0;
vertical-align: middle;
/*These can be full width if you fix the padding on the parent element*/
width: 100%;
}
.searchIn {
-moz-appearance: none;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
border: 0 none;
font-size: 15px;
margin: 0;
outline-width: 0;
padding-left: 4px;
/*Center the input box better inside the container*/
padding-top: 6px;
/*And make the input full width*/
width: 100%;
}
