HTML - Search Bar Text Placeover

I'm trying to have my search box and search button aligned but I can't seem to get it working. Whenever I try to move one vertically, both of them end up moving and I'm all out of ideas.

Here is the code:

Code:

<script src="http://supportforms.epnet.com/eit/scripts/ebscohostsearch.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<form action="" method="post" onsubmit="return ebscoHostSearchGo(this);"><input id="ebscohostwindow" name="ebscohostwindow" type="hidden" value="1" /> <input id="ebscohosturl" name="ebscohosturl" type="hidden" value="http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&amp;site=ehost-live&amp;scope=site&amp;type=1&amp;custid=S6281220&amp;groupid=Main&amp;profid=EDS&amp;mode=bool&amp;cli0=FR&amp;clv0=Y&amp;cli1=RV&amp;clv1=Y&amp;cli2=PT82&amp;clv2=(PT+Academic+Journal+or+PT+Periodical+or+PT+Trade+Publication)%7e(PT+Book+or+PT+Almanac+or+PT+ebook+or+PT+audiobook)%7e(PT+Newspaper+or+PT+NEWSP+or+PT+Newswire+or+PT+WIRES)&amp;lang=en&amp;authtype=guest" /> <input id="ebscohostsearchsrc" name="ebscohostsearchsrc" type="hidden" value="url" /> <input id="ebscohostsearchmode" name="ebscohostsearchmode" type="hidden" value="+" /> <input id="ebscohostkeywords" name="ebscohostkeywords" type="hidden" value="" />
<div style="background-image: url('http://i.imgur.com/Wjilo.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 900px; height: 600px; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; color: #353535;">
<div style="padding-top: 249px; padding-left: 70px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;" ></span>
<div>
<input id="ebscohostsearchtext" name="ebscohostsearchtext" type="text" size="23" style="font-size: 16pt; padding-right: 340px; height: 50px;">
<button type="submit" style="border: 0; background: transparent;"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/nYPoa.png" width="145" hspace="25" alt="submit" />

Hi, I want to make a search box on my website. The thing is that I would like the search bar to be able to search on multiple search engines. For example I can type a movie in the search field and then I can select if I want to search for the movie either on google or on IMDb.

I want it to look like this: http://subtext.no/kjartan/charlie/searchbox.png

If anyone could help me get this kind of searchbox it would be great.


Thanks in reaply.

I'm using IE8 to test

Hi, I'm trying to add a google search box (in a table) to my web page, but for some reason it the input button links to the page I am currently on. The strange part is that I put the same exact code in another cell right next to the other google search box and that one works wonderfully while the first one still links to the current page. It is the same with any search engine (yahoo, bing, ask), the first search box links to the current page and the rest work great. Here is the code I use:
Code:

                <form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">
                <input style="width:140px" type="text" name="q" size="31" maxlength="255" value="" /><br />
                <input type="submit" value="Google Search" />
                </form>

I have several websites that I maintain and update. A lot of them are just textual changes and I would think my customers can do these themselves by editing a simple .txt file.

I was hoping my choices are avalable so that I can just insert this tag into my web pages and then give them login info to their edit page or show them how to upload the .txt file.

I hope this is an easy one with several answers.

Is it possible these tags could discipline your rankings in the search engines?

Thanks,
Jason

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and is expecting an answer for this question. I have implemented a facebook type search to the database which displays the familiar text saved in the database when I type some text in the database. My issue is after I have used the search box for a couple of time the text box starts displaying a similar dropdown from its history which hides my database search. Does anyone know how to disable it using html or css. See the attached Image if my question is not clear.
http://www.htmlforums.com/attachment...1&d=1306715905

here is the (ineffective) code currently:

<img style="float: left; width: 169px; height: 73px;" src="img/logo1.png" alt="" />
<h1 style="text-align: center;">random text</h1>

the image shifts the left margin such that the text is centered as though the page width was 169px less than it really is.

i'm not debating the code itself; the code above behaves as its meant to. aka no surprises. i just cant figure out the appropriate code to center the text across the entire real width of the page as though there was no image.

i've tried div tags & all the things google hunting advised. no luck. other than finding this forum, which seems like it'll be a boon!

thanx in advance for advise/comments/feedback/help.

i have a lot of text files(2-400) all have quite alot of text inside them so is there some software that can help me convert it all into html pages??

now can u tell somthing better??

all the files will open in same frame(obviously one at a time), all have styling n everything same.

How do I Link text in a div, h1, h2, p to an external text file or xml file - I don't really know how to ask the question. I think I need an xml file that can be easily edited by a user saved to the server to update an xhtml page text without the user getting bogged down in html.

I don't want to use joomla or cms.

<Any ideas />?

Best wishes,
mas

Hi, I hope I'm posting in the right area as this is my first thread.

The problem I'm facing is I have 7 links in a row
| Link 1 | Link 2 | Link 3 | Link 4 | Link 5 | Link 6 | Link 7 |

and below those links I have nothing.
What I want is for Text to appear on rollover on Link 1 and stay there until Link 2 or another link is hovered over.


Example:
Mouse hovers on Link 1 - called Free Home Survey
Text appears below row of links about Free Home Surveys that the company does

Mouse hovers on Link 3 - called Personalisation
Text appears below the row of links about Personalisation
etc

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

PLEASE HELP!!

I want to implement a rollover (javascript or css) that changes text when you rollover it. E.g. someone's name and when you rollover it shows their address. I've googled this and found a css rollover which changes the color of the text but is there a way to completely change the text? Any help much appreciated, thanks

I have seen this many times but can not figure how to do it. Its the transparent images or text in text boxes, one example of this is http://au.movies.yahoo.com/Coming+Soon/to-cinemas/ At the top right you can see that transparent yahoo image in the text box and when you click it it disappears then comes back? can someone tell me how this works?
Thanks
