I'm looking for a descriptive words to indicate "smaller than the standard version".
Example:
I have a html form with some inputs. The inputs come in sizes (eg small, normal, large). Those sizes have a specific width.
Now, I have a version with a small button (in this case an X to delete). That button has a small width. I want the previous mentioned inputs to be a bit smaller, but "smaller" is confusing as it can also mean 'a smaller input' which can be confused with the input[size=small].
[--------------------] <- large
[-----------------][x] <- large + ??
[---------------] <- normal
[------------][x] <- normal + ??
[-------] <- small
[----][x] <- small + ??
Two words could be used in it really has to, but you work like this:
<input class="normal someWord" />

I suppose mini would suit this case. Also compact.
Although mini doesn't exactly mean smaller than the standard version, it comes close. I would prefer mini over compact, as mini is pretty has pretty common colloquial usage Ex: Ipod mini, Memory card sizes etc.
