my container padding is at the default of 0,
my logo area right padding is set to 0'
i have modified the searchbox class as follows:

.searchbox {background-color: green; margin-right:0px;}

the green shows, but the padding has no effect.

i've used firebug to look up elements and selectors and tried nearly a gazillion different things but just cannot get it to work. :/

what (obvious thing) am i missing?

thanks in advance!

you want to set the top margin on 'div.searchbox-form input.text'

thank you for replying.

top margin moved it vertically; i need it shifter to the right.

i thought maybe you were testing me ;-) so i tried

div.searchbox-form input.text {margin-right: 0px;}

with no luck. i also tried it as zero right padding. then i tried a variety of things using the selectors you provided -- still nothing.

what effect are you trying for? are you trying to get teh white to be even with the left side? right side? what

i want the right edge of the text input box to match the right edge of the rss/comments line directly above. (so they are right-aligned)

the green was just for a visual development aid, i have removed it.

try

div.searchbox-form input.text {
    padding-right: 0;
    margin-left:  16px;
}

pushed it right over. thanks! :-)

i did try changing the text align atone point, but never thought to give it a left margin.
