No JS question!!!
Here's the answer anyways:
This is going deep into the mysteries of crossbrowser programming *g*
The trick is very easy though. NN4.x doesn't use CSS for input-fields, 
IE5.x does, so an input-tag should look like this:
<input type="text" style="width: 100px; height: 15px; font-size: 12px;" 
length="25" maxlength="120">
OK, now all you have to do is tweak around with the width/height in the 
style attribute and the length attribute until they look alike in both 
NN4.x and IE5.
