To clarify: I’m trying to determine why the searchform CSS seems to work only in the sidebar, and not in the main part of them page???
Thanks… DB~
You have to change the styles in your stylesheet,
you have to put the classes in your searchform.php and
wherever you put the whole search form (not <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>)in a template you also have to put the classes in it.
If you have done this and it doesn´t work, please give us the url to this site.
Evita- I’m slightly confused. Are you saying that I need to add the classes CSS definitions to the actual PHP file?
I’m testing locally so unfortunately I can’t give you the site URL.
Thanks, Dennis~
<form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”<?php bloginfo(‘home’); ?>/”>
<div><input class=”your class” type=”text” value=”<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>” name=”s” id=”s” />
<input class=”your class” type=”submit” id=”searchsubmit” value=”Search” />
</div>
</form>
Hi DB,
I’ve the opposite problem. I’ve been able to style both search boxes but only the main search button. I’m using this CSS,
/*Code to change the search form textbox colour styles in right column*/
#sidebar #searchform #s {
width: 108px;
padding: 2px;
color: #000;
background: #FFCCF5;
border: 1px solid #FE4FDC;
}
/*Code to change the main search form textbox colour styles*/
#searchform #s {
width: 158px;
padding: 2px;
color: #000;
background: #FFCCF5;
border: 1px solid #FE4FDC;
}
#searchsubmit {
color: #000;
border: none;
width: 93px;
height: 25px;
background: #fff url('images/search_btn.jpg') no-repeat bottom center;
}
Problem is the Sidebar search button doesn’t have an ID associated with it and I can’t find where this is to change it. Updating searchform.php has no effect!
It would be great if you could let me know how you solved it.
Many thanks,
Adrian
