'search box' textfield in column_left.php

[Rob Petterson]

I want to change the colour inside the textfield from its default colour of white to another colour. Does anyone know which file the coding for the textfield resides?

All colors are defined in:

/catalog/stylesheet.css

and the variabel you might be looking for is infobox_contents.

OK, that dosn't work. I need edit the TEXTFIELD colour not the infobox.

In the stylesheet.css its the infoboxHeading you need to work on :lol:

 

TD.infoBoxHeading {

 font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;

 font-size: 10px;

 font-weight: bold;

 background: #bbc3d3;

 color: #ffffff;

}

 

Altering the color:#ffffff here though changes the color of all the infoboxes.

Try hard coding the colour in the search.php file instead.

Hi again.

 

I think I misunderstod you, but if you want to change the color in the textfield, where visitors enters their searchkey, then this is what you do:

 

Make a copy of catalog/includes/boxes/search.php, just to be on the safe side :).

Open catalog/includes/boxes/search.php and find this line (it's long):

'text'  => $hide . '<input type="text" name="keywords" size="10" maxlength="30" value="' . htmlspecialchars(StripSlashes(@$HTTP_GET_VARS["keywords"])) . '" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"> ' . 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>'

and change it to this:

'text'  => $hide . '<input type="text" name="keywords" size="10" maxlength="30" value="' . htmlspecialchars(StripSlashes(@$HTTP_GET_VARS["keywords"])) . '" style="{background-color: #000000} width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"> ' . 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>'

Notice that the styletag has been added this css-tag: {background-color: #000000}.

#000000 gives black, but you can change that to whatever you like / need.

Thanks Olby,

This is exactly what I'm after.
