Resizing Search bar in header

[top hatt]

Hi:

I am trying to increase the size of the search bar in the top header. I have found lots of threads describing increasing the length of the bar.

I want to increase the height of the bar. I have tried playing around with the stylesheet, tpl_search_header, etc. to no avail.

Can some on please help me achieve what I can't seem to accomplish.

One way would be to add to your stylesheet:

#navMainSearch input { padding: .5em 0 .5em 0;}

This will also increase the height of the navMainWrapper.

Thanks for your quick reply Stevesh.

I tried your solution. It worked but it put the search bar in the center. I had it on the right hand side. I tried float: right; but it didn't do anything.

Hard to say without seeing the site, but you may have made it too big, moving it down to the next line.

Stevesh:

After many attempts (guesses) I got it.

Had to put float: right; before the padding and it worked.

Now, it's the size I wanted. Thank you.

Is there any way to align it better with the search button beside it?

Something like this:

#navMainSearch button {margin: 0 2.5em .3em 0; padding: 0 .2em .15em .2em;}

Stevesh:

Thanks again. That worked perfectly.
