PLEASE tell me what obvious thing I’m missing. I want to edit the CSS for Advanced Search and Results.

1) In the templates themselves, I see no reference to type size/color.

2) In both weblog.css and search.css, I don’t find a style that controls the appearance.

I’m talking about...on the Advanced Search page...the introductory wording: “Separate Keywords With Spaces”, etc.

How about the Results page as well?

Thanks.

How about a link to an example page that you’re trying to change.

If there’s some specific text you’re trying to change then you can probably surround it in a <div> or <span> and give it a CSS class.  Then add the class to your stylesheet.

The link is:

We work in Dreamweaver which only shows the php tag, not the coding with the reference to stylesheets. We do see it when we look at the source code through the browser but, for the life of me, I can’t see the text style for “Separate Keywords With Spaces....etc.” Is this some kind of default text?

Are you saying we can just reference a new style in the Edit Templates window? And, if we were to do so, does it matter if we define it to weblog.css or search.css or one we’re creating on our own for this site.

Thanks. Ruth

And, a real basic CSS question, can we have more than one CSS stylesheet per page? 

The code for the search form itself can be edited in your pM Control Panel: Edit Templates > search > Search Form Templates.  If you look at the code, there is no specific style applied to that text.  It will, however, inherit any styles you might have applied to parent elements.

Anyway, if you wanted to style that text specifically, you could wrap it in a span:

Then add the style to your stylesheet (you could add it to “search.css” or “meislik.css” since both are used on that page) using whatever styles you want:

> can we have more than one CSS stylesheet per page

Yes, you can reference multiple stylesheets.  If more than one of them contains the same style information (i.e., if both had the “separateKeywords” class) then the last stylesheet referenced takes priority.
