Ive used the standard templates and style sheets and made edits for colour etc....
The search box has a 1px border around it that is made from a #7F9DB9 (Light
Blue Colour) same as on this page at top.
I cant seem to find any referance to what makes the search box border colour anywhere...
TIA

If you use this it will come out a diff. color, a little strange...

#m2searchinput{border-color:#000} I found the m2searchinput by looking at the source for the rendered page, this # means id...

Search: 



If you go here you will/can learn more about CSS and border calls...
just type border in the search box...

i think the search box is getting its colour from somewhere else.

I added :-
border-style: solid;
border-color: #0000ff

just to see what changes and it surrounded the whole search module placed in the page.

Im trying to change the box to the right of the "Search:"

Ill keep hunting, its got to be getting it from somewhere

Input boxes get a border automatically, what you have is probably in the div#search call, if you want just the input box changed you have to target the "m2searchinput" like I posted otherwise yes the whole thing will get a border...

I put this in your CSS and got a thick very blue border...

#m2searchinput{
border-style: solid;
border-color: #0000ff}
