which browser causes this?  all browsers or just specific ones? also, can you post a link to your page so i can use firebug to view the markup?  usually, when this problem occurs, padding rules are the culprit.  have you defined any reset rules for these styles?

One of my coworkers worked his magic and was able to eliminate some padding (which I missed) and got the combobox to line up.  You are spot on for suggesting padding!!  Unfortunately, this project is still in development and isn't live anywhere so I cannot post any links.

This issue has been fixed for Chrome; in Firefox, it still is off by 2-3px, but my coworker is confident he can fix that as well.

Thanks for your reply!!

We managed to align the input and button portions to the same height, however, we seem to be stuck with a fixed width scenario for all of our comboboxes.  At first, we attempted to set a fixed width for .ui-autocomplete-input, which worked, but obviously had it's limitations.  Next we proceeded to set a width of 80% for that style.  This too seems to work in most places, however, when we attempt to have a small dropdown (for example, a single digit) then this isn't sufficient.  With this solution, even if we place it inside of a div with a fixed size, we still have variable sized comboboxes.

In short, my question is this: how have you managed to control the size of your comboboxes in such a way that you can have variable sized comboboxes throughout your site?

Thanks again!!
