What You See is NOT What you Get

|
| I am using the HALO Template and I added a word in front of search text box ie
Site Search. It looks fine in design mode but when ran in the browser it moves
the word "search" to the next line. I tried enlarging the text area around the
two words.
Any Ideas?

| The best way to reproduce this is to create a new page with the HALO template
and then just add a word to the Serarch ie Site Search and then view the page
in the browser. Search displays on the next line.
Thanks
Picky.

| While there is not an explicit width specified for that absolutely
positioned form tag, you might get better results by assigning one to the
#search id selector - I found that 165px worked pretty well, e.g.,
/*************** search styles *****************/
#search{
position: absolute;
top: 5px;
right: 10px;
z-index: 101;
width: 165px;
}

| Do I need to change this in the style sheet?
Or do I replace the form with something else?
If you can provide some sample code that would be great!
Thanks

| You make that change in the stylesheet that is linked to the page.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/emx_nav_left.css" type="text/css">
Or you find the #search style declaration in the CSS panel when that page is
open and make the change using DMX's CSS editor.
> If you can provide some sample code that would be great!
Hmm - that's what I gave you in the previous post!
OK - open the page. Open the Design Panel (WINDOW | Design). Open the Tag
Inspector Panel (F9). Click on the CSS tab in the Design Panel. Find the
style named #search listed there and click on it. In the Tag Inspector
panel, you will now see a list of CSS properties for that style. Scroll to
find the category "Box" and the attribute "width". Enter 165 for width.
Alternatively, you could just doubleclick on the stylesheet in your Files
Panel, and find the #search style. Add the width to the style as I showed
in my last post.

| Thanks Murray!
I really appreciate your feedback.. I'll let you know how it goes.

| Hi Murray,
I made the change as per your instructions, and now it put both words Site and Search on the line below.
I want them placed right next to the search text box.
Thanks

| Just increase the width of that element until there is enough room for the
words. Or perhaps you are not doing it correctly?

| Hi Murray,
OK I will change the width = 165 to larger numbers and see if that fixes the problem. Report back to you later..
Thanks,
Picky

| Murray,
That setting worked.
I need to really look at the CSS as it seems to be the main artery to DreamWeaver formatting.
Thanks again!
Picky
