Input border CSS

Question

I am having trouble with my input borders. When I change the border width property, it changes the width of the entire input. However, I want the input's width to be 100%. Here's my code:

CSS

#wrapper {
      width: 170px;
    }
    textarea {
      border-color: #eee;
      border-width: 1px;
    }
    label, textarea, input {
      width: 100%;
      display: block;
    }
    input {
      border-style: solid;
      border-width: 1px;
    }

<div id="wrapper">
   <form>
        <label for="comments">Comments</label>
        <textarea name="comments" rows="5"></textarea>
        <label for="date">Date</label>
        <input type="text" name="date">
        <label for="time">Time</label>
        <input type="text" name="time">
        <label for="longitude">Longitude</label>
        <input type="text" name="logitude">
        <label for="latitude">Latitude</label>
        <input type="text" name="latitude">
   </form>
<div>

Notice how the inputs stretch almost as far as the text area, but not quite. Thanks!

You need to use the box-sizing to border-box to add width as well, as border too takes up its own width:

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
#wrapper {
  width: 170px;
}
textarea {
  border-color: #eee;
  border-width: 1px;
}
label, textarea, input {
  width: 100%;
  display: block;
}
input {
  border-style: solid;
  border-width: 1px;
}

<div id="wrapper">
  <form>
    <label for="comments">Comments</label>
    <textarea name="comments" rows="5"></textarea>
    <label for="date">Date</label>
    <input type="text" name="date">
    <label for="time">Time</label>
    <input type="text" name="time">
    <label for="longitude">Longitude</label>
    <input type="text" name="logitude">
    <label for="latitude">Latitude</label>
    <input type="text" name="latitude">
  </form>
</div>

Explanation

The CSS box model, by default is content-width defines the total dimension as:

width = contentWidth + paddingLeftWidth + borderLeftWidth
height = contentHeight + paddingLeftHeight + borderLeftHeight
