I don't think, or know that it will have unintended consequences from the look of things, but just look things over to make sure something else didn't disappear as well.

And you're welcome.

Thank you! It seems to work, but now that I know it could have unintended consequences, I'll keep my eyes open. From what I can tell, though, it doesn't affect the any other textbox.

I'm just so thrilled with my theme now. I wish I'd been braver a year ago, but it's probably best to take this in small steps. :-)

The following seems to take everything away but you will have to check for other unintended consequences.

#navigation ul li.search {
display: none;
}

Hi! I'm using the theme Misty Look, which I love, except for one little itty bitty thing. There's a search box in the upper right corner of the theme, on the same line where the tabs show up. It seriously limits how many tabs you can have, and so I upgraded my account to be able to edit the CSS and was told to put this in the CSS box:

input.textbox {
visibility:hidden;
}

#navigation ul li.search input#searchsubmit {
visibility:hidden;
}

Unfortunately, this CSS hid ALL text boxes, such as those on my contact form and those that appear when someone wants to leave a comment. Is there a way to hide the one text box that is used for search?

(Just so you know, I have a search box in my sidebar, so the one included in the theme is redundant.)

And just in case, here's my blog: http://heylady.net

Thanks for your help! It's very much appreciated. :-)
