input[type="text"] {width:300px} will do fine in most browsers [1].  
Unfortunately, that won't work in IEplorer 6, an oldie that still is  
used by way to many people.

In that case, appending a class to the textfields, and use that as a  
selector will work.

[1] attribute selectors:

Thanks Philippe - looks like the way to go!
