    Hello!

    On my website http://www.scegghy.com i have the search form in the header. On Firefox it’s ok but in IE i don’t see the search form……

    Here my codes:

    Header.php:

    <body>

    <div id=”wrapper”>

    <div id=”menu”>

      <li class=”page_item <?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>current_page_item<?php } ?>”>/” title=”Home”>Home
      <?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=’);?>
      <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>

    </div>

    <div class=”clear”></div>
    <div id=”top”>
    <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/headbanner.php’); ?>
    </div>

    <div id=”catmenucontainer”>

    <div id=”catmenu”>

      <?php wp_list_categories(‘sort_column=name&title_li=&depth=4’); ?>

    </div>

    </div>

    style.css

    /* The Search */
    #search {
    height:17px;
    width:203px;
    margin: 15px 30px 0px 0px;
    background:#000000 url(images/search-bg.gif) no-repeat left;
    padding:5px 5px 10px 5px;
    width:250px;
    float: right;
    }
    #search form {
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0;
    }

    #search fieldset {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    border: none;
    }

    #search p {
    margin: 0;
    font-size: 85%;
    }

    #s {
    margin-left:0px;
    float: left;
    width:130px;
    padding: 6px 2px 7px 5px;
    margin: -2px 10px 10px 15px;
    border:none;
    font: normal 100% “Tahoma”, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color:#000;
    background:transparent;

    are you sure your filename is really searchform.php as indicated in your code?

    Hi,

    It looks like the searchform appears in IE8 (that’s what I use), but isn’t visible in compatability mode (for IE7 and below). You may have to continue further if you want IE7 compatiblity…

    I looked at the source code, and it appears the searchform <div id="search"> is wrapped in <div id="menu"><ul>, yet isn’t an <li> element. The <ul> and <div id="menu"> closes after <div id="search">. This is invalid XHTML, since a <div> can’t be inside a <ul> unless it’s in an <li>. A W3c HTML validation check hits on this as well.

    There are a couple of ways you could go. For now, in header.php, try this:

    <body>

<div id="wrapper">

<div id="menu">

<li class="page_item <?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>current_page_item<?php } ?>">/" title="Home">Home
<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=');?>
<li><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?></li> /* changes made */
</div>

<div class="clear"></div>
<div id="top">
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/headbanner.php'); ?>
</div>

<div id="catmenucontainer">

<div id="catmenu">

<?php wp_list_categories('sort_column=name&title_li=&depth=4'); ?>
</div>

</div>

    Hopefully this helps…

    Thank you for your help! I write

      below <div id=”menu”> and li /li only on searchform…it working!

    The code:

    <body>

    <div id=”wrapper”>

    <div id=”menu”>

      <li class=”page_item <?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>current_page_item<?php } ?>”>/” title=”Home”>Home
      <?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=’);?>

    • <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>

    </div>

    <div class=”clear”></div>
    <div id=”top”>
    <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/headbanner.php’); ?>
    </div>

    <div id=”catmenucontainer”>

    <div id=”catmenu”>

      <?php wp_list_categories(‘sort_column=name&title_li=&depth=4’); ?>

    </div>

    </div>
