apparently it's not inside a tag

here's a sample of the code that should be my AJAX search widget:

That's strange. It looks like it's not being added to your sidebar list. Are you using widgets? If so try placing it at the top and see if it's still pushed over the edge. If not make sure it's in a li tag like the other items in your sidebar.

First of all i wanna say thank you for making the search option so much more attractive. i bet a lot of people now just wanna search for everything instead of reading it just like the normal way.

but the only thing that's not really good with my version of the plugin is the layout it comes with.
i have installed the plugin and tried to begin styling it with my own custom CSS but before i got to the styling part i already noticed a slight glitch in the layout itself.
i tried editing the layout in the plugin file itself but even there i had no luck. so maybe someone can help me out here and get me back on the search of Google ajax again.

a screenshot of my layout at the moment: http://tinyurl.com/2t2s2n

It looks like your search doesn't work either?

Well it's definitely because of button styling. You'll notice that your comment submit button is the same style and size. just look through your CSS for an input style with either .btn or .button.

Thanks for your help but still not working. I took that section out of the layout.css but the problem is still the same. AW

I edited your comment with the CSS that is causing the problem. Just take that out.

Sorry about the long posts! And here is my spring_flavour.css Do I need to make changes in both?

Edited:

form .button { width:90px !important; border-bottom:1px solid; font-weight:bold; }

It looks like you have some conflicting CSS for buttons and that why it both looks styled like that and is larger than normal.

Hi, I have installed the plug in but the "search" button takes up most of the space where the search term should be entered. When the site is first opened the long search button sits underneath the search box but then it jumps up on top of it. Can you help! You can view it at my site: http://rspas.anu.edu.au/rma...

Stupid question here:

Installed the plugin, configured it, but I don't use sidebar widgets. What's the code for placing it on my sidebar?

Re: Google AJAX Search at Scattered

dancameron — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 11:41:17 -0000

The second template should work. That's the only way to put php on pages without using another plugin.

hi dan, thanks for responding...
nothing shows up at all. it's completely blank where the code is.
i'll play around with a second template and see if i can get that working.
thanks

Re: Google AJAX Search at Scattered

dancameron — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 01:20:57 -0000

Now that I think about it. Are you adding the <php> code in the page template or the page content? You should make an extra template that has the code in the div that you want. It will not work in the content of the page unless you use another plugin to enable the ability to place code within a post/page.</php>

Re: Google AJAX Search at Scattered

dancameron — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 23:14:14 -0000

It should work as is on that page. What does it look like?

Re: Google AJAX Search at Scattered

alternapop — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 12:28:19 -0000

this works for me if i put the code in a sidebar but doesn't work if i create a dedicated 'page' with only this code.

what do i need to do differently?

thanks!

Hi Dan!

I think I have a problem with Your plugin. When I search for something only the "Second Search" works fine. "Web search" is always using http://www.adbundy.com as a sourse for its results and I'm not sure that "blog" search works fine either. Please help.

Thanks

Re: Google AJAX Search at Scattered

dancameron — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 14:29:17 -0000

Thanks for reminding me, I need to add that to the CSS. Look for a new release soon.

PS, I'm using FF on OSX and when I look at it with 'one result' it looks fine, but with 'more results' and 'all results' it breaks...
