Display: table-cell problems in chrome

I have 3 divs that I would like to display as table cells:

<div class="field">
    <div class="row">
        <label for="name">Subdomain</label>
        <input type="text" id="name" name="name">
        <div class="subdomain-base ">test</div>
    </div>
</div>

This is the CSS that I am using:

body{
    font-size: 13px;
}

.field {
    width:450px;
    display: table;
}
.row {
    display: table-row;
    width: 100%;
}
.row > * {
    display: table-cell;
    border: 1px solid red;
}
label {
    width: 125px;
    height: 18px;
}
input {
    max-width: none;
    min-width: 0;
    overflow: auto;
    height: 18px;
    width: 100%;
}
.subdomain-base {
    height: 18px;
    width: 1px;
}
.subdomain-base {
    color: blue;
    font-size: 13px;
}

It works perfectly in Firefox 24: enter image description here

However, it has a height problem in Chrome 30 (latest): enter image description here

I have been trying all sorts of things to fix the problem with Chrome, but it seems like nothing works. Why is chrome getting that extra height?

The problem appears to be due to display: table-cell on input elements being experimental. See this question for more details: display:table-cell not working on an input element

The solution is to wrap the input in a span and apply display: table-cell to the span and to remove overflow: auto from the input.

The new mark up looks like so:

<div class="field">
    <label for="name">Subdomain</label>
    <span>
        <input type="text" id="name" name="name">
    </span>

    <div class="subdomain-base ">test</div>
</div>

The css now looks like this:

body {
    font-size: 13px;
}
.field {
    width:450px;
    display: table;
}
.field > * {
    display: table-cell;
    border: 1px solid red;
}
span {
    padding: 0 5px;
}
label {
    width: 125px;
}
input {
    width: 100%;
}
.subdomain-base {
    width: 1px;
}
.subdomain-base {
    color: blue;
    font-size: 13px;
}

Sadly, don't have enough rep to respond to Dhaval's answer.

Change to

vertical-align: middle;

Set this:

.row > * {
  display: table-cell;
  border: 1px solid red;
  vertical-align: top; // add this
}
