IE issue with CF inputs

I have a very simpleCF input:

                    <label for="login_id">Account ID:</label>
                    <cfinput type="password" size="25" name="login_id" />

My issue is, whenever I change the TYPE to TEXT, so the user can see what they are typing, the length of the text box in Internet Explorer gets shorter. I can't figure out why this is happening. It ends up messing up my wntire GUI. All I am changing is the type.

In Firefox, this change does nothing.

Has anyone experienced this with IE? Is there a fix for this?

    Yes, or behaviour very much like it.

    The fix is to NOT rely on IE's (or any browser's) default CSS sytling of html page elements.  Specify your own very specific CSS paramters for any page element that is critical to a tight UI layout.

    What if you style it with CSS instead of with the SIZE attribute?

    Then you are probably just gonna have to chalk this up to the varagies of IE and move on.
