Changing Search Button - 6/20/2009 5:24:10   
Hi everyone,

Is it possible to change the search button picture , under the "web components" menu?
Or is there any way to put search engine to website, with different styles?

You can't change it to an image, but you can style the submit button in an external style sheet.

Is that component for searching all the web?
Or is it for searching my own web site content?

The frontpage search bot searches the site.

Thomas, again i need further help about this....

1. I understand that using different html codes would change the look of buttons...but, i could not understand what order those codes have to be!
f.e, this code : <input type="submit"> , is working, i'm able to get the button...but i could not understand the code : #el01 {width:100%} /* Width */ , and how to use it...

also in here, http://www.webreference.com/programming/css_stylish/ , are some samples about the buttons...but again i could not understand how to use those code...when i copy and paste those codes, same words seem in preview...

2. actually, i am trying to style search and reset button of web search component which is formed by this code : <!--webbot bot="Search" S-Index="All" S-Fields S-Text="Search for:" I-Size="20" S-Submit="Start Search" S-Clear="Reset" S-TimestampFormat="%d.%m.%Y" TAG="BODY" -->
if i have to use additional codes to style the buttons, how can i associate new codes with this webbot code?

sorry for asking lot..
thanks...

I'm currently not at a computer wtih FrontPage installed. Can you post the url of a page with that search bot? I want to look at the source code.

It's been a while since I have worked with that bot. I had forgotten that it doesn't write html to the page. I'm now remembering that I tried and searched long and hard for a way to customize that bot, and I was never able to.

Sorry for the previous misleading post!

You might want to use a google site search instead. That's easy to customize.

Just replace "yourdomain.com" with the actual domain of your site.

<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">

<input type="text" name="q" size="31"
maxlength="255" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Google Search" />
<input type="hidden" name="sitesearch"
value="yourdomain.com" checked />
</form>

RE: Changing Search Button - 6/23/2009 9:38:15   
i see...that is also working...
but we would not want our customers find our competitor companies' webpages as a sponsor of google, when they are searching something in our website.:)

I will try to find another solution...
Thanks a lot for your effort...

You can customize the Google search engine so that it only shows your website search hits, but that feature is not free.
