Customize webBot search form

T

Tom Wells

I need to customize the appearance of the search webBot form on a Frontpage
2002 site. The properties window available for this webbot is designed for
pathetic retards. Where do I find the real properties of the form so I can
whack the reset button and change the submit button to conform to the look
of our site?

You can't / don't
- the reset button can not be removed
You use CSS to apply styles to the form elements rendered by the SE

Thanks for the response.
Looking at the HTML code for the webbot I see that the identifiers for the
buttons are not given so how do I apply CSS to them? Looks like I can't.

Since Microsoft doesn't want very many people to use the search webbot, is
there documentation on how to have an ASP form use the index server to get
search results? I notice that MSDN uses a search more like what I want but
the source does not show the code behind the "go" button. It's kind of
funny that Microsoft does not use the tools for their own site that they
expect everyone else to use. We are trying to convert from using "Ultraseek"
to using Microsoft indexing as part of a long struggle to convince the
managment to change to an all Microsoft shop. Poor documentation and lack
of functionality like this sure doesn't help any.

View source in browser
You will see it writes
<input type="submit" value="Search"><input type="reset" value="Reset">

Create a CSS style for the input tag
