   Hi:

   Is there any way to apply some styling to the standard search widget?

   I want some spacing between the "search for", the text box, and the search button but nothing I've tried appears to have any effect. I don't know what to create styles for - I've tried classes and id's for "label" "search submit" "input" "searchform" - these are what appear in the source code - but nothing seems to make any difference.

   Thanks

   Unless you provide a link to a page demonstrating the problem, no one will be able to offer much in the way of assistance.

   Try adding something like:

   #searchform input {
       margin:5px 0;
   }

   Thanks, but nothing happened, unfortunately. It doesn't look that bad in most browsers, but in IE the search button moves below the text field and jams right up against it and I can't get it to move down...

   Remember to press CTRL and F5 simultaneously when viewing an updated page/site. Or try emptying your browser cache. This should ensure that your web browser fetches a fresh copy of the page rather than serving up an out-dated copy from your own cache.

   Also disable/deactivate any caching plugin(s).
