search in horizontal menu Can't Post
I have set up the horizontal menu. I am now trying to place the search box on the same line.

It (the search box) keeps jumping to the line below the horizontal menu.

Any tips on how to place the search box on the same line as the horizontal menu?

TIA

Hi,

Thanks for the post!

Although I am not familiar with the code your using for the horizontal menu I am thinking that you should be able to encase the simple search SSI in a <td> tag. For example your finished menu code may look similar to this:

Code
<table></tbody>  
 
<tr>  
 
<td><!-- INCLUDE CATEGORY LIST --><!--#include virtual="$published.globalMenu.webpath$" --></td>  
 
<td><!-- INCLUDE SEARCH FORM --><!--#include virtual="$published.searchbox.webpath$" --></td>  
 
</tr>  
 
</tbody></table>


What you may also want to do is post an example of the code you are using to generate the horizontal menu, once I have a better idea of how things are set-up I will be happy to help you get the search box set-up. :)

Does this help? I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Chet ,

Here is the code for the menu:

<!-- templateComment -->

<head>
<link href="../singlePages/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /><!-- /templateComment -->

</head>

<body link="#FFFFFF" vlink="#FFFFFF" alink="#FFFFFF">

<tr><td><ul style="padding:0px; margin:0px;">

<!-- template insert: $categoryList$ -->

<!-- templatecell: categoryRow -->

<li style="display:inline; padding:5px; list-style-type:none; margin: 0px;">

<a href="$published.categoryIndex.url$">$category.name$</a></li>

<!-- /templatecell: categoryRow -->

<!-- templateIf: $categoryList$ eq "" -->

<!-- /templateIf -->

</ul></td></tr>

What I eneded up going was removing the tables from both the menu and search templates.

Once I did that, it put the two pages next to each other.
