Moving search from top to bottom of header

[mrmrsg]

Ok here is what I have

I want to add a small colored box that extends the length of the header that contains the centered search function at the bottom of the header.

Thanks in advance

Looks like the Sophy Blue layout?

I'm not sure how the tpl_header.php is setup in that layout. You should just be able to "switch" the PHP call for the search being on the top, to the bottom... right after the EZ pages. Is there a URL for that template?

Your new CSS selector to finish off the adjustments in the new lower search bar is .headerNavigationLower

The code that you have posted is from an older than 1.3.x version of ZenCart.
Do your self a favor and upgrade...if you have upgraded, donot use code from the old cart with the new cart...this code contains many tables...
