| Grow Horizontally | Expands sideways until it reaches the page edge. | Short but wide inputs (e.g., names, addresses). |
| Grow Both Vertically & Horizontally | Expands sideways first, then downward if needed. | Flexible fields with varying text lengths. |
| Fixed Size | No expansion—text must fit inside the box. | Strictly formatted fields (e.g., dates, IDs). |
