WordPress fun
The blog is finally taking shape as it becomes more customised and what I wanted it to be, but alas the search bar holts my advance. How it does this is simple, it won’t resize.
I Started with a very plain theme for the blog; Complete black and some sidebars and header/footer’s - not exactly amazing stuff.
Since then I changed lots about, added sections, deleted section, moved things, added the logo at the top and finally *tried* to change the size of the search bar (it used to be at the bottom of the pasge, unmarked (???).
I have tried everything I could think of to fix this but I still don’t understand it. I can move it, delete it, but not resize it.
How strange… anyway haven’t got much time tonight so I’ll try and find the answer tomorrow.
Until then,
Sam
Hello Sam,
I’m Andrea from ‘pacquola.org’
The search bar can be resized.
Its width is defined by this stylesheet instruction:
form#search input (
width: 250px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
)
If you don’t like to see it at the bottom of the page, you can place it in one of the sidebars. There are two ways to do this:
As a widget: In this manner the default search bar placed at the bottom disappears.
Statically: putting in one of the sidebars the following code:
Search
<form id=”searchbar” method=”get” action=”">
The width of the searchbar, in this case, is defined by the following stylesheet statement:
div.box input#s {
width : 130px;
}
If you feel confortable with “Tomorrow” there is a new version available, I hope you like it …
Oops, the code of the static sidebar doesn’t show up; here it is:
<div class="box">
<h4>Search</h4>
<form id="searchbar" method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">
<div><label for="s"><input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" /></label></div>
</form>
</div>

P.S:
sorry if my grammar is poor right now, im using a PDA on the train so typing is difficult.
Thanks a lot Andrea!
I just managed to sort it out via my PDA and as far as I can see, it works!
Thanks alot,
