My site is at 216.75.30.97.

I want to move the search bar to the right hand side of the logo area

How is this done?

Hi there,

in skin1/head.tpl

You could try moving...
{if $usertype eq "C"}
{ include file="customer/search.tpl" }
{/if}

into your empty...
<td class="HeadRightBox">

It will get messy so remember to back up. As you'll need to do a few things to get it sitting right.

Also, use webmaster mode - it's your friend.

Regards,
Doms

thanks kube...where do I go to comment the old one out?

[toolexperts]

also what coding would i put in to make it align right?

[kube]

The original search box is located further down in head.tpl using the same code as I mentioned.

Also where you have placed the new snip into the TD HeadRightBox, surround it with {if $main ne "fast_lane_checkout"} so it looks like...

<td class="HeadRightBox">
{if $main ne "fast_lane_checkout"}
{if $usertype eq "C"}
{ include file="customer/search.tpl" }
{/if}
{/if}
</td>

I have implemented this and it seems to be working fine..thank you

[kube]

toolexperts you're going to have to watch out what's happening with the code, becareful.

At the moment you have a TD HeadRightBox inside another TD HeadRightBox.

Also your TD Container isn't closed - but that isn't an effect of moving the search bar. Make sure you have these sorted otherwise it will become a headache. This is the reason why things aren't aligning as to how you wish.

**scratches head** it looks fine to me....what do i need to fix? Thanks in advance

[kube]

It may look fine but something is wrong somewhere.

From viewing your source and half-way down, this is what is corrupting it (a HTML comment from me shows the problem below)...

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
</td> <!---<<<<<<< The problem is here, a closing </TD> tag with no beginning/open <TD> tag! -->
<td class="HeadLine" align="right">&nbsp;

</td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
</td>
</tr>
</table><!-- main area -->


Hope this helps.
