Also, When I select the first category It immediately display results; is there a way to stop the results from displaying after selecting but only populate the next sub category, and add a submit button to the bottom of the form that will display results?

I’m a newbie and I don’t mind paying a fee for your time. Thanks a lot for your help,

John

I just upgraded to Custom Design the other day, so I'll give this a shot and see how it works.

<br /> #searchsubmit {<br /> display: none;<br /> }<br />

You can then make the search box a bit wider with:

<br /> #primary #s {<br /> width: 200px;<br /> }<br />

It is not really possible to include the text inside the search box the correct way though.

I see that I can lengthen the search box (in Twenty Ten), and force the button onto a second line, by modifying the CSS ".widget_search #s" - Increasing the search box from 60%. I also see that the search box works without using the "Search" button by simply hitting the return key.

What I would like to do is get rid of the button in Twenty Ten, and possibly include the word "Search" in the empty box. I tried using a text widget to make my own search form, but then discovered that <from> tags are among the forbidden tags, and so that of course didn't work.

Is there a workaround? A method of eliminating (or hiding) the button in the Twenty Ten search form, and possibly including my own default text (e.g. "Search") in the empty search box?

Note: I don't have the "Custom Design" upgrade yet, but I may be upgrading to change out the fonts, so if there is a remedy that involves modifying the CSS file that would be perfect.

My blog's font is 15 pt Palatino, changed from the default font with the CSS (Custom Design) upgrade.

#searchform, #site-title, #site-description {
display: none;
}

The problem is the search widget is under #searchform as well which is why it is not showing up. Change things so that you have the below instead.

#branding #searchform, #site-title, #site-description {
display: none;
}

I'm using the Search Form Widget since I hid my blog title and tagline with CSS, which hid the built in twenty eleven search form at the top. But, here's the problem. Regardless of whether I put the search form in the sidebar or the footer, the only thing that shows up is the Widget title (search) with no search form. Any ideas?

Thanks!

BTW, I answered your question at the other forum.

If there are more 'label' tags in your blog, your code will render them invisible. However, there's a 'hidden' class used in the "Search for:" label. So, I'd suggest you define/modify the 'hidden' class like so:

lable.hidden {display: none;}
