Default text in search box.

Hey guys,

In the search bar I would like the text 'Search here...', or something of that nature. When the visitor clicks in the box to search the text will disappear.

How/where do i do this please? :smile:

That's defined in includes/languages/english/header.php:

Line #28 : define('HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT', 'Enter search keywords here');

My test site works fine in Chrome - maybe your template ?
