Its a bit fiddly cos the only way is by messing with the CSS code.
What exactly did you want to?
(maybe more importantly…. why ?) :-)
I'm messing with the CSS code right now. I want to move the search box to the side bar. I think it will be more comfortable^^. Also one of the reasons is that I want to make the header as compact as possible.
I saw a post some time ago that suggested that this was difficult. I'd like to do the same thing though. As a temporary measure I've just made the box invisible with 'visibility: hidden' and added a search page linked from the menu.
Where exactly do you put "'visibility: hidden"?
You can use this to move the search box to the side bar. Play with the left and top parameters to get it where you want it.
#search-top-box{
float: left;
position: absolute;
left: 20px;
top: 270px;
}
If you want to hide it completely:
#search-top-box{
visibility:hidden;
}
Perhaps 'display:none' would also work.
To move it to the left of the account name and log-in:
#search-top-box{
float: right;
position: relative;
left: -240px;
top: 8px;
}
