> But good luck making an input, button and select the same height. It's just not going to be pixel perfect. What is pixel perfect in your browser isn't in others.
It's... actually incredibly easy to do that. You just disable the browser's default styles for those elements and then set their height explicitly.
There is a certain interpretation of "pixel perfect" which, I agree, isn't really feasible or worth trying to achieve, and that's when it comes to layout. You can hardcode the dimensions of "atomic" elements like buttons and inputs all you want, but if you start giving hard pixel widths to containers that should be adjusting their size according to their content and surroundings, you're going to get yourself into trouble real fast. I think designers these days have mostly started to grasp this, though.
