search bar

Hi, how can i edit the position of the search bar so that it is actually on top of my banner rather then above it in the default position? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Re: search bar

Youi can use CSS relative or absolute positioning. For more detailed help, post a link to your site.

I need to find the page that determines the position of the search bar? If it is on the css page what name is it under?

Many thanks

Re: search bar

Just do a view source to find the id of the element you want to move. THen you can position it with your stylesheet.

For major changes in display order, /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_header.php controls the output. Move the clearly marked blocks of code to the order you want.

Re: search bar

Thanks, is it possible to actually place it on top of the banner of the website?

Re: search bar

Yes, using the stylesheet and absolute positioning, and perhaps z-index.
