    Aha, solved the mystery. Root, you confused me with the original poster – I have no language giving the searchbox an ID of #s; instead of #s I needed to use #searchform. Thanks!

    Hmm, doesn’t seem to be working. See below for the text for the sidebar and searchbox in the “layout” section of the CSS:

    #sidebar {
    float: right;
    margin: 0 14px 0 5px;
    padding: 10px 0 20px 0;
    width: 212px;
    border: 2px solid #8ac60e;
    border-right: 5px solid #8ac60e;
    border-bottom: 4px solid #8ac60e;
    background: #f7ffe4 url(images/sidebarbg.gif) repeat;
    display: inline;
    overflow: hidden;
    }
    #s {margin-left: 5px}

    Any other ideas? I did a ctrl + refresh to make sure my browser wasn’t loading a cached version of the site.

    Thanks. Just to clarify, as I am _very much_ a novice here, you are saying that:

    a) the change should be in the stylesheet, not the searchform.php

    b) the relevant formating is for the sidebar (“#s” = “#sidebar”), not the search box

    One additional note: in the CSS the #sidebar includes “margin: 0 14px 0 5px;” and the text in the sidebar does seem to be 5 px off the margin of the sidebar, as opposed to the search bar, which is flush with the margin.

    So, can you confirm a) that the line you indicated is correct, and b) where it should be placed? Thanks!

    I have a similar question. I am a WordPress novice trying to center the search bar in my sidebar (it is currently left justified). https://mitchkumstein.com

    The code in my searchform.php file is:

    <form method=”get” action=”<?php echo $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]; ?>”>
    <p>
    <input type=”text” value=”<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>” name=”s” id=”s” /> 
    <input class=”button” type=”submit” value=”<?php _e(‘Search’); ?>” />
    </p>
    </form>

    Can anyone suggest code that would align it properly, and where I should insert the code? Thanks!

    Thanks!

    What’s a simpler to modify theme that has some similar layout characteristics that you would recommend?
