Change search box look

[rockstar]

I'm trying to completely change the search box but having problems. First I want to put it in the header bar, but I want to completely strip out everything in the search box and just put the text field with the word "Search" next to it.

 

So I found the file Includes/boxes/search.php but don't really understand it too well. Here's my code so far:

 

<?php

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_SEARCH);

 

new infoBoxHeading($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() . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH) . '<br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '">' . BOX_SEARCH_ADVANCED_SEARCH . '</a>');

 

new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?>

 

Is tep_draw_form a function that is defined somewhere in osCommerce and if so, where is it located? What is actually drawing the little table around the search box and where is it located?

 

Thanks,

Well, if you want it in the header bar, you don't need any of the InfoBox code. Then you would simply need to move some things to header.php and likely application_top.php

Below is the code I'm using in my header. Nothing but "Search" (text field) (button).

 

 

 

<font size=1><b>Search:</b></font size=1> <?php echo tep_draw_form('advanced_search', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'). tep_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description','1') . tep_draw_input_field('keywords','','size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"')?>
   <input type="image" src="includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_search.gif" border="0" alt="Quick Find" title=" Quick Find "></form>
