Ok.... I have tried everything in the world to make that google search bar work properly (and I do love the way it is integrated into the form when you do a search).

I just can't find a way to make it look right in the header, however. I would like to make it part of the menu bar. I have tried every way to do it, and it just don't work. So for those of you who are good at it... let's see what you can come up with.

The stuff between the CENTER tag is the google code - which can't be edited - not even the DIV tags. I was thinking I could use "IFRAME" but don't really want to here.



Code:

<table>
<tr>
<td><span class="mainmenu">&nbsp; <a href="{U_CALENDAR}" class="mainmenu">{L_CALENDAR}</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="{U_GALLERY}" class="mainmenu">Gallery</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="{U_FAQ}" class="mainmenu">{L_FAQ}</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="{U_SEARCH}" class="mainmenu">{L_SEARCH}</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="{U_MEMBERLIST}" class="mainmenu">{L_MEMBERLIST}</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="{U_GROUP_CP}" class="mainmenu">{L_USERGROUPS}</a>&nbsp;
<BEGIN>
&nbsp;<a href="{U_REGISTER}" class="mainmenu">{L_REGISTER}</a>&nbsp;
<END>
<span class="mainmenu">&nbsp;<a href="{U_PROFILE}" class="mainmenu">{L_PROFILE}</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" class="mainmenu">{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="{U_LOGIN_LOGOUT}" class="mainmenu">{L_LOGIN_LOGOUT}</a>&nbsp;</span>
                  <BEGIN>
                  &nbsp;<a href="{is_modo.U_PC_LIST}" class="mainmenu">{is_modo.L_PC_LIST}</a>&nbsp;
                  <END>
</span></td>
</tr>
</table>
      {CALENDAR_BOX}
<center>
<table>
<tr><td>

<div class="cse-branding-right">
  <div class="cse-branding-form">
    <form>
      <div>
        <input>
        <input>
        <input>
        <input>
        <input>
      </div>
    </form>
  </div>
  <div class="cse-branding-logo">
    <img src="http://www.google.com/images/poweredby_transparent/poweredby_000000.gif" alt="Google">
  </div>
  <div class="cse-branding-text">
    Custom Search
  </div>
</div>

</td></tr>
</table>
</center>
<end>

You can't edit the code because it will screw up how it works, or you can't edit the code because google said so? I don't blame you if they say so and you listen. This site gets some heavy traffic and they might get a wee bit pissed about it.

If you can't edit the code though. I think you are pretty much SOL. I goofed around with it ALOT, the only way to really make it look presentable though is to hack that code up, or just put it at the bottom of the site.

I wasn't totally clear on that... the only thing that can't be edited per google TOS is this:

Code:

<div class="cse-branding-right">
  <div class="cse-branding-form">
    <form>
      <div>
        <i type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-3405328735048623:nlsyzl-sb7r">
        <i type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:10">
        <i type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1">
        <i type="text" name="q" size="31">
        <i type="submit" name="sa" value="Search">
      </div>
    </form>
  </div>
  <div class="cse-branding-logo">
    <img src="http://www.google.com/images/poweredby_transparent/poweredby_000000.gif" alt="Google">
  </div>
  <div class="cse-branding-text">
    Custom Search
  </div>
</div>



Interestingly enough.. the stuff inside the <input> tags didn't appear... that's a strange bug so I changed input to i.

as far as 'making it look right' what do you mean? what's the end goal?

End goal is either:

A) Integrate it into the menu bar.

B) Find a better placement for it than I did.

It is actually growing on me somehow. I need to get the "Calendar" icon on the same row..... working on that now for a few.

Remove this, its just fluff
"

Custom Search
"

then on the add class=""

then look through your page codes and see what style name is applied to your text box's currently and add that name as the class param.

Edit: does not look like you currently apply a style to the textboxs so your going to have to replace class="" wth style="" and create the visual in there
This will give you a good start on style - http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_style.asp

Cannot edit the google code. That has to remain as it as part of their Terms of Service.

IFrames blow. Not supported consistently across platforms and browsers.
