Styling the search widget

  • 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

    Hi – sorry!

    This site is still under construction, but look at:

    Thanks!

    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).
