Hi all,
I want to change the looks of the search module. I have included the module and it is coming with default css.
I want to cgange the button with an image, remove the 'search' word and make the textbox smaller.
How I can do it?
Is there anyone to help me?
It's urgent.
You can change the Look & Feel of the search-template (the input form) as well as the design of the output in Extensions > Search. All you need to do is put the code of your template into the respective fields and style it the way you like with HTML & CSS.

You may have to go to the search module and change the action.default.php line 34, I used it to make the button an image...
I applied your suggestion, mark, on CMSMS 1.0.6, but it didn't work. I still have the "submit" button instead of my image. This is the line I have edited:
to style the search module, just do two things
a) wrap the search tag in a div.
like: {search}
now you can use css to style most everything.
b) to use an image instead of a button for submit you need to just modify the template to remove the {submit} stuff and replace it with the appropriate tag.
all that is left is the javascript.
All you need to do is submit the form name, a simple view source wll tell you the form name, and if your form won't be moving around, then this is great, copy the form name out, and use "javascript:document.whateverform.submit()".
If there's a chance that your form might move around on your page, I have a javascript function (that can be embedded into your global metadata, or your page template). to detect the current form.
BTW, this solution doesn't only apply to search, but to every module.

I think CMS is looking from the root of CMS itself, so the original location was correct, just the calling might have been wrong. Do you see the image when you put "domain + image-link" in the address bar, otherwise the rights might have been wrong. If the rights aren't correct the image is put over the search-box.

Yes, I see the image from the web if I direct the browser on it.
But it is not shown anywhere on the search module, while the button is always there. How could it be? I have modified that line.
did you clear the cache? this may be causing the problem.
