Walter,
The border just acts as a hover state to highlight the search field. I set that border in the CSS. The only reason I use JS to kill it is because when I view the search results page and then click the browser back button, the border displays and continues to display even if I am not hovering over the search field. My JS prevents that problem from happening.
By the way, I just now began testing IE and Edge. Without the “window.onload” of my original JS code, clicking the browser BACK button from the Search Results page will leave the search term inside the search field. But when I use “window.onload”, that problem goes away (the search field properly gets blanked). I tried putting the JS just before but the problem remains. Without “window.onload” search terms get stuck in the field when using modern IE or Edge. No other browser, not even Safari in iOS, needs “window.onload” – they clear the search term without it.
