input and textarea not cross browser compatible

Hereby I'm having some problems with cross browser compatibilities. I have to admit I have no idea of how to correct cross browser problems, so I'm open to any suggestions.

This example is fortunately affecting to only some properties. These properties are the input and textarea fields. I'm using google chrome Version 21.0.1180.89. I construct the web with this browser but I have a problem with the rest of broswers available in my machine.

I would like to know how to act with this problem of cross browser compatibility:

Result Google Chrome Version 21.0.1180.89: (How it should look) (Safari look the same) enter image description here

Result Firefox Version 15.0.1:

enter image description here

Result opera Version 12.01:

enter image description here

I'm open to any cross browser compatibilitiy codes.

Big time THANKS!

Here I place the neccesary code as you asked to understand better the problem. Thank you!

Passerby was right. I applied some width to input:not(type=submit):not(type:image) and to textarea. Once I did this all browsers display the same dimensions.

Thank you for the help!
