Search Box Placement

[onehipcat]

I was wondering if there was a way to move the search box and make it more like a regular search box.

It currently drops down below the menu. Is there any way to have the search box be right next to the search icon? (see snapshot of where I’d like it placed).

Thanks!

You could, but it would cover the menu items. Try this css:

.ajax-search-wrap {
  position: absolute;
  right: 40px;
}
.ajax-search-wrap:after {
  border: none;
}

That didn’t work. See snapshot of what I’d like to do.

That worked perfectly. But, can you tell me what CSS I would need to make the words “Search” the color black? Thanks.

You will need to add this custom css:

::-webkit-input-placeholder {
   color: #000;
}
:-moz-placeholder { /* Firefox 18- */
   color: #000;  
}
::-moz-placeholder {  /* Firefox 19+ */
   color: #000;  
}
:-ms-input-placeholder {  
   color: #000;  
}

Hope this helps
