Hello Dave

Wanted to express my appreciation for this code! I actually managed this all by myself on my site, that’s how good your explanation is )
My little search box now appears neatly on the top right of my site, occluding my banner.
Appreciate you posting this very much….

Hi, would you by any chance know where the search box text ‘to search, type and hit enter’ is hidden, in THESIS, so I could translate it for a project ?
Thanks much !

Thanks for the great tutorial Dave.

I’m trying to move the search bar to the top right corner without losing the clickability and formatting of the two images I have in my header. I’ve tried tinkering around with the CSS to no avail.

Any suggestions?

@Paz, you’d need to use some custom CSS (in your custom.css file) to achieve this. Depending on your layout, applying the following may help:

.search_form {margin-top: 10px;)

I used this with great success, however I want the form to sit about 10 pixels from the top of the header. Is there a function that I can add to do that as well.

Thanks Dave,

I really like the results of this code except for one issue, The text ” Enter Search…” doesn’t go blank (disappear) when you click in the box to search. Here is my site I want to use this on: http://rightonwebdesign.com
any suggestions?
