<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

input, textarea, select { width: 100%;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box }
</style>

<body>
<form>
<div>
<input value="Input">
</div>
<div>
<textarea>Text area</textarea>
</div>

<select>
<option>One</option>
<option>Two</option>
<option>Three</option>

</body>
</html>
