Search Field problem

[joediffdez]

I added the search field to my website. For some reason the word "search" is appearing above the search box although I didn't code that in and I don't want it there. It appears as if the template tag [-- STORE.search --] is adding that word.



The code I input from the tutorial is:

Code: Select all

[-- IF ANALYTICS_MULTI_DOMAIN --]
<form action="[-- SHOPPING_CART_URL BASE --]/productsearch.cgi?storeid=[-- STORE.ID --]" method="post" onSubmit="javascript:__utmLinkPost(this)">
[-- ELSE --]
<form action="[-- SHOPPING_CART_URL BASE --]/productsearch.cgi?storeid=[-- STORE.ID --]" method="post">
[-- END_IF --]
<input type=hidden name="storeid" value="[-- STORE.ID --]">
<nobr>
[-- STORE.Search --]<br><input type="text" name="search_field" class="search" size="13">
<input type="submit" value="[-- STORE.Go --]">
</nobr>
</form>

The html that the tags are generating are:

Code: Select all

<form action="http://thebestebooksonline.com/cgi-bin/sc/productsearch.cgi?storeid=*16fcc2eed18b601912a7f51a4f" method="post">
<input type=hidden name="storeid" value="*16fcc2eed18b601912a7f51a4f">
<nobr>

Search<br><input type="text" name="search_field" class="search" size="13">
<input type="submit" value="Go">

it appears between the <nobr> and <br> html tags.

Is there any way to edit this or remove it?

I would suggest using the following code. You are correct, the [-- STORE.Search --] tag is what is adding that text, and you can simply remove that, it is not needed for the form. I also took out the IF statement for the multi-domain (I assume you aren't using this because most merchants don't), as well as moved the "search" text to within the field. When a customer clicks to type in that field, all the text will be removed automatically.


<form action="[-- SHOPPING_CART_URL BASE --]/productsearch.cgi?storeid=[-- STORE.ID --]" method="post">
<input type=hidden name="storeid" value="[-- STORE.ID --]">
<nobr><input type="text" name="search_field" class="search" size="13" value="[-- STORE.Search --]" onFocus="value=''">
<input type="submit" value="[-- STORE.Go --]">
</nobr>
</form>
