[SOLVED] Make a large search box
 

I'm unable to find howto make the text inside the search box, and the search box, a little bit larger. Is it possible?

see http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=6606

I've tried adding "font-size: 1.2em;" in Style & edit HEADER AREA -> Search Box. But it didn't do any difference.

from 'So..you have a problem and need some help...'

Atahualpa 3.5.1. I'm using the default settings.

URL: localhost (for development)

are we talking about the search box in the header area or in a sidebar widget?

In the header. I've just started laborating with this theme and don't have any other widgets than the default ones.

add the following to ato->Add HTML/CSS Inserts->CSS Inserts

Thanks! I'll try it.

Hi all, I've included a Search box in a sidebar widget, Atahualpa 3.4.9, but I would like to make the Search box wider and remove the magnify glass image/icon. Would anyone know how I can remove that image and make the Search field wider (if just removing the image doesnt do it)?

What I do is determine the CSS selector with Firebug then use CSS to style the box with width and height. For the magnifying glass you would determine the selector and use display:none to hide the image.

Thanks Larry.
For others - I did that, found style="display: block; in searchform.php and changed it to "display: none; and removed some padding while I was there. Fixered :)

It is better to use CSS in ATO>Add HTML/CSS Inserts>CSS Inserts to make those changes as changes to searchform.php will not hold if you upgrade the theme. For example the selector for the magnifying glass is .searchbutton so to hide it you would use.
The width of the search box should expand to fit the sidebar.
