It sounds like a CSS problem, but send a link and I can have a look. Regards, James Hi Sankar,

I am happy to send you the files. Just let me know what email address. So just to confirm, the files you need are: style.css header.php What about the searchform.php file? Thanks for your time and effort. Cheers Iain Hi James.

Don't worry about the time, but if you would rather get advice from someone more local where the time lag is not so great then don't worry. Regards, James Hello Iain,

Thank you so much for your help, and I hate to bother you further. I really don't know CSS well and it seems that I don't have the knowledge to do this. I inserted the code shown at the bottom of the stylesheet (style.css), but it made no difference. I am assuming that having the following code in the header is "absolute" and precludes any CSS formatting. <form method="get" name="searchform" action="/"> <input type="text" value="" name="s" style="width: 25%;" /> <input class="art-button" type="submit" name="search" value="" /> So I am guessing that this code needs to be replaced with a reference to include the search template only. So I tried removing that code and replacing it with: No luck, the search form still displays in an area below the header. If you want to wipe your hands of this I understand. You can't continue to waste time on this. Cheers Iain Hi James.

Yeah I had already done that with my first attempt, then changed the form code position within the header code and left it where it is now. What I am trying to achieve is to have the form over the top of the header image, rather than above or below it. I have seen it in other sites and wondered how they did it. Any suggestions? Cheers Iain Hi James.
