[Maypole] width of edit fields

The field boxes on the edit page are fairly narrow and don't make much
sense with long text fields such as my sequences. I've tried to change
them, but I'm a css ignoramus and can't make it work. I've found
explicit width settings for text inputs and textareas:

input[type=text] {
     height: 16px;
     width: 136px;

and

textarea {
     width: 136px;

These settings seem to be shared between the search, addnew and edit
boxes. I think what I want is for the boxes to be as wide as the space
available, so I tried commenting out the width lines. This caused the
boxes to get a little bit wider, but not full width (and not the same
width as each other?). I tried an explicit large value and that forced
the boxes to become wide, but it isn't what I want to do.

What is it that limits the width of these boxes?

Thanks, Dave
