I’m putting together a site that has e-commerce with Mal’s and the client has also requested a search facility - I’m using Atomz.
My knowledge of HTML is limited to say the least - but I’ve managed to get the search working by using the Multiple Forms Action. I’ve also (after much hair-tearing!) managed to get the word ‘Search’ to disappear on clicking but, try as I may, I can’t get this to appear in the font, size and colour I want (Verdana, 10pt, dark grey). I’ve tried inserting extra code in the Mark up box but have only achieved some really strange results!
You want to add the style to your input. Try this:
Click on the text input field.
Select Item > Extended from the main menu
In the dialog, make sure the < INPUT > tab is selected, then press
New.
In the name field, enter style
In the value field, enter color: #666; font: 10px Verdana, sans-
serif;
Okay the stack of dialogs, and preview.
You can also do this by applying a classname to the field and
defining a class style for inputs in the Edit Styles dialog. If you
have more than one to do, then do that.
Then you don’t have the text input itself selected, but rather its
parent item. Try Command-clicking directly on the text input. That
should change the selection point to the text input.

The Extended tabs for the Mark up are < >

it doesn’t matter which one I put the style in as you suggested it
still doesn’t work.
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you but my mac ‘died’ shortly after sending the last email. Now resurrected, but I’ve only just got it back from the repairers!
Many, many thanks Walter . . . it works! You’ve been a lifesaver - and incredibly patient with me!
