Description
Firefox emulates the looks of Mac form controls and jQuery reports the wrong width for the element, actually only taking into account the inner text of the control. To be more accurate it would have to take into account the borders of the control.

I've attached a test case, here is what I found so far:
In Safari 4.0.3 (Mac) it reports a width of 117, which when I measure from a screenshot includes the arrows on the right side of the control
In IE7 (WinXP) it reports 118, which includes the arrow
In Firefox 3.5 (WinXP) it reports 122, which includes the arrow
In Chrome 3.0.195 (WinXP it reports 118, which includes the arrow
In Safari 4.0.3 (WinXP) it reports 95, which doesn't include the arrow.
In Firefox 3.5 (Mac) it reports 93, which doesn't include the arrow.

I’m not sure what jQuery is supposed to do about this; if the browser is calculating dimensions of form elements incorrectly, that’s not really something we can test for because we will never know what the OS native chrome adds to a form field.
Can you provide a test case as well? Just the minimum HTML/script needed to reproduce the problem. Thanks.
