Form Field Widths

[nagrap2 +]

Hi,

Im in the process of putting together a new template and want to set the width of the search text field a certain width.

Please can you let me know how to set the width of the search text field?

I have tried the following but it doesn't seem to work for outputting the search form:

<tr>
<td>{$smarty.const.LANG_SEARCH_TEXT}{$smarty.const .LANG_COLON}</td>
<td><input name="searchtext" type="text" id="searchtext" SIZE="8" /></td>
</tr>

Thanks in advance...

You can try this in the style sheet:
#searchtext {
width: 80%;
}

XHTML syntax does NOT allow UPPER CASE for elements or parameters.

Thanks Eric, so currently, how does it determine how wide to output the text boxes? Is it based upon the size of the field in the database? Or is there some other crtieria it uses?

If you see a smarty constant, its defined in the language file.
