search field problems

[rawley]

OK - I've asked this question before and have been told that it's "impossible". I have a hard time believing that, so I'm going to ask again. If you check out our webpage at www.dobco.net and go to Search, you will see a search box with submit and reset buttons below. When you insert a search option in FrontPage, it inserts the field just like this, similar to a table format, and you can't easily edit anything. Is there someway to put a space between the submit and reset buttons or to remove the reset button? This is just driving me nuts from an aesthetic standpoint

Thanks!

Hi Rawley,

To get rid of the reset button..
Select it (in design view) and then edit and delete.
To move the buttons... Insert the cursor to the right of the button then
use the arrow key and get the cursor in-between the buttons... Then use the
space bar to add some space between the buttons... OR you can hit enter to
drop the buttons below the text area.. (Use shift + Enter to make it closer
underneath).

Using frontpage 2003 if I insert the search webbot into a cell it includes
the search text box and two buttons. When I try to edit the cell the whole
cell highlights. If I get a cursor into the box I cannot move it except to
the top or front and the bottom or right side of the cell. You cannot delete
the reset button without deleting the entire search component. If there is
some setting in options that allows this I cannot find it.

I stand corrected...

You are right when using the webbot you can't...

I thought you were searching a database...

OK since you insist:
Open your published live site in FrontPage.
Open the page with the form in Notepad.

You will see:
( I have added the ****** to mark a specific place )

<!--webbot bot="Search" S-Index="All" S-Fields S-Text="Search for:"
I-Size="100" S-Submit="Start Search" S-TimestampFormat="%m/%d/%Y" TAG="BODY"
S-Clear="Reset" b-useindexserver="0" startspan --><form
action="_derived/nortbots.htm" method="POST"
onsubmit="location.href='_derived/nortbots.htm';return false;"><input
type="hidden" name="VTI-GROUP" value="0"><p><b>Search for: </b><input
type="text" name="search" size="100" value></p><p><input type="submit"
value="Start Search">********<input type="reset"
value="Reset"></p></form><!--webbot bot="Search" i-checksum="64460"
endspan --></body></html>

To spread the buttons apart place: &nbsp once for each space you want
between the buttons
in the same area where I added the ****** above.
Or to remove the reset button simply delete:
<input type="reset" value="Reset">

Then Save the page and then close the web.
Then mark the local copy of the page as "Do not publish" so it
doesn't over write the server copy.
Also, if you open the live page in FrontPage and edit it,
when you save it FrontPage will rewrite the bot.
Therefore, always edit that page using Notepad.
