Different column WIDTH in Internet Explorer/Firefox

[Nemeliom]

Hi everyone.

Im having this problem with column widths, i found on another forum that it might be the search box. Left column looks wider on IE7, everything ok on FF. I tried changing the search.php but nothinmg happened.

 

Here's my search.php

 

<?php
/*
 $Id: search.php,v 1.22 2003/02/10 22:31:05 hpdl Exp $

?>
<!-- search //-->
	  <tr>
		<td>
<?php
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_SEARCH);

new SearchBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),
						   'align' => 'center',
						   'text' => tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . '<br>' . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH) . '<br>' . BOX_SEARCH_TEXT . '<br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '"><b>' . BOX_SEARCH_ADVANCED_SEARCH . '</b></a>');

  new SearchBox($info_box_contents);
?>
		</td>
	  </tr>
<!-- search_eof //-->

 

 

Trying different things i found out that if i remove the 'button_quick_find.gif' part, the problem gets partially solved, although the submit button turns into a "-AltValue-" thing:

 

 

tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH)

 

 

BTW, for some reason my store is not reading any image used for buttons, i just get common, grey buttons with text in them. For example, instead of the magnifying glass in the search box, i get a grey button which says "Quick Search".

 

PLEASE HELP! and thank you very much.

The width problem is in this part.

(BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id()

Change the

' '

to

'<br>'

I tryed what you say, and it didnt work for me.

However, i studied the code and figured out how to solve it.

 

Here's the solution:

On line

 

tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH)

 

Change the BOX_HEADING_SEARCH for whatever you want the button to say (in my case, the image wasn´t showing, so i decided to change what the button says, so it got smaller and the column width went back to normal)

 

For example:

 

tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', Search!)

 

And that should work.

 

Thanks everybody!

This thread may help with the button not showing problem.

 

Can't say for sure without your URL.

 

But it outlines the most common causes (other than corrupt images from FTP'ing them to the server in TEXT or ASCII mode instead of BINARY mode)
