I suggest logging into admin and set the site so it is using a 100% unmolested copy of the default template and see if that works for you. If it does then it is likely some change that you made when editing/creating your template.

A link to your site as well as what template you are using and what version of 68C you are using will be required to offer anything else.

So does the Original, unmolested default template search work for you?

sorry Iv added highslide to the default css now taken it off, but I still cant fix it

the only thing now is color key and image files.

But I cant see it

Update,
body { padding: 0; margin: 0; font: 0.7em
was the problem. I had it set to 0.9em and that stopped it working in IE7

You stated above.....

"Im working on 409 on the default template.

But did not clearly say YES or NO that the default unmolested template works. If it does work, then its something you changed. Since I have no idea what you changed how is anyone supposed to offer help?

Smile Fix for Quick Search Bar Not Working

Hi,

I just joined and had my site set up today. I had the same problem with the search bar on the default template not being usable. I played with the code a little and here is how I fixed it so that it works with Internet Explorer.

Just under the "Header" Section replace

<div class="clear"></div>

with

<div class="gbox">
<p></div>

This may not be the most desirable fix, but it is an effective workaround.

I'm not good at this stuff yet, but I know just enough to be dangerous.

The best way is to do this or you can end up with problems with other browsers because you fixed something for the notorious IE 7 piece of ....

In your layout file do this where the existing single link is made.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="templates/{$smarty.const.MAIN_TEMPLATE}/css/style.css" type="text/css" />
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="templates/{$smarty.const.MAIN_TEMPLATE}/css/ie.css" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->

Create the modifications you want to apply to IE by making specifc css in a new style sheet. More generally here

If you use google you will find very easily the code mods you need to make IE fly. Hope they go away but it does not look like they will any time soon until they are forced to sell or give their browser away separately.
