My Search Button isn’t working

  • Hello,

    I am having trouble with the search button on the right hand side of my blog. The image on the search button form isn’t showing up in in safari. It shows up in firefox but it isn’t aligned properly.

    I would like to change the button from “Submit query” to just something simple like “search”. I could easily create a new button in photo shop.

    I just need some help replacing the submit query button that doesn’t even seem to be working properly.

    Quick Recap:
    1st I need to fix the kink in the search form. (seems cosmetic not a code thing but not sure)
    2nd I would like to replace it with a simple button like “search”

    Thanks to anyone that can help

  • You can either replace
    <input type="image" src="https://sandwichreport.com/wp-content/themes/wp-city/images/dot1.gif" class="submit" />
    with a “submit” button (in searchform.php), like this,
    <input type="submit" value="search" class="submit" />
    or upload an image for

    I tried uploading an image for dot1.gif and it didn’t work!

    I will try your first method and see if I have success.

    Oh no Haochi!

    My submit button got cut off! check it out on the site now. (and it doesn’t even click like a normal link because the mouse doesn’t change).

    Open your theme’s style.css

    find .input and decrease the number after width:
    find .submit and increase the number after width:

    Save and upload the file to your site.

    148px and 48px for input and submit (respectively) looks pretty good here, you might want to adjust a little bit though.

    Looking good almost there…I think its a little too tall.

    Also, how come the mouse doesn’t change when I roll over?

    Ok I think I got it to look perfect now!

    What do you think about the roll-over issue for the search button? Do you think its a big deal if it does or not? What’s your opinion.
