I have a most likely a stupid question. I want to integrate the keyword search function only that bv created into my owm text box that is in the header. I have tried several things but they do not work. I keep getting a runtime error or nothing comes up. I am including a screen shot. The text box I am referring to is at the top where it says search vitamins and the image button to the right for a submit search. Is there an easy way to do this? File Attachment(s):  screenshot.JPG (2,215kb) downloaded 78 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments. Try to login or register.

The easiest way would probably be to add a content column to your header control (use default.aspx as a reference), add a search box, and style it within the context of #header.
I personally usually do this with a custom control in the theme. But either way works. |

By a custom control in the theme, what do you mean? Is there a control in admin that can do this?

You can't use HTML or add a form to ASP.Net sites, if that's what you're doing. All pages are wrapped in a form and you can't insert one form inside another.
Yes, you can (1) insert a Content Column (Content > Columns) into your header and add a search box module to it via the admin. Or (2) build a custom control for your theme, which is a .ascx .Net control containing your search code and referenced in your header.
Option 1 would probably be easier for you, as long as you understand the cascading nature of CSS to style it specifically. |

Hi emunah,
My site design requires the same positioning of the search box right under the horizontal menu within the header and I am glad that you were able to figure it out, I would appreciate if you can share your technique.
Thanks

Just a follow-up to this post:
Cliff, I used the admin area to create a new Content Column, but can you explain how this gets inserted into the Header file? I assume some code goes at the top of the file in addition to the control in the code, but can you share syntax? |
