Description of problem

How to make search on separate forums like this? Help.

[skouliki]

hi

add the following to the description of a forum or category :

Code:

<form method="get" action="/search?search_where=42">
  <input name="search_keywords" class="inputbox search" value="Search..." onclick="if (this.value == 'Search...') this.value = '';" onblur="if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Search...';" type="text">
  <input class="button2" value="Search" type="submit">
</form>

Replace 42 by the id of the forum

[Ivan Ivanov]

Search string is not visible.

[skouliki]

the code is working ok 





if you change the code then you wont have the correct result 
type="text" autocomplete="off"  -> why did you add this?

type="text" autocomplete="off"  -> why did you add this?

I did not add it.

Code:

<form action="/search?search_where=6" method="get">
             <input type="text" onblur="if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Search...';" onclick="if (this.value == 'Search...') this.value = '';" value="Search..." class="inputbox search" name="search_keywords" />          <input type="submit" value="Search" class="button2" />       
</form>

This is weird.

try to put the default templates to check also cause i cant

Did not help.

[skouliki]

i removed this code from your css line 24

Code:


#search-box input {
border: 0px solid;
margin-top: -20px;
display:none
}
#search-box input.button1 {
display: none;
padding: 1px 5px;
}
input.search {
background-image: url('https://2img.net/i/fa/vide.gif');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left 1px;
display:none
}


and add this at the end

Code:


input.inputbox, select.inputbox {
    width: 50%;
}
