Change response time

Hi Tony,

Sorry for taking a while to get back to you.

I’m not entirely sure I understand the question, but I’m taking it that, on the public part of the site, the search box is only appearing on hover and you’d like it to always be showing?

If so, this is an issue with the css in your theme. There’ll be a :hover state style change occurring on all search boxes – with the one in the menu being no exception.

In order to fix this, you must edit the css in your theme or override it using a custom css plugin. See some other support questions for more details, for example here.

Cheers,
Joe

Joe,

Thank you for getting back to me, I really appreciate it. After I re-read the question, I knew it would not make sense, sorry for that. Let me be a little more concise.

So I have the search box configured in a menu item, so that when you hover over the heading the search box appears. Works great, but when you pull the mouse off of the search box, the box

A:Dissapears a little too quickly.
B:Will dissapear even if you have clicked in the search box, and pulled the mouse away. Also if the search autofill box comes up, it will stay on the screen and the search box will dissapear.

Really just minor issues, that would be great to be able to adjust.

Thanks so much,
TonyD

Hi Tony,

If you use the :focus pseudo class to apply the same rules as the :hover class is, it should keep the box open on click.

Here’s an example of what I mean:

Take note of line 25.

Hope this helps.
