I tried to skin the DNN site search with the following code in my skin.xml (I decided to skin in DNN4.x compatibility):

<Object>
    <Token>[SEARCH]</Token>
    <Settings>
      <Setting>
        <Name>Submit</Name>
        <Value>
          <img src="images/btn_submit.gif" />
        </Value>
      </Setting>
      <Setting>
        <Name>showWeb</Name>
        <Value>False</Value>
      </Setting>
      <Setting>
        <Name>ShowSite</Name>
        <Value>False</Value>
      </Setting>
    </Settings>
  </Object>

While disabling the web- and site search radio buttons (showWeb and showSite) is working fine, the search box is still showing a "search" text label instead of my image button.

 

Second I would like to change the style of the search text field itself. I am fine with the css formatting, but which is the correct file to place my css formatting in (also speaking of a good file organization)?

Okay, I was able to fix that problem: Any HTML in the XML file has to be wrapped into a CDATA statement:

<Setting>
        <Name>Submit</Name>
        <Value><![CDATA[<img src="images/btn_submit.gif" border="0" alt="Search" />]]>         </Value>
      </Setting>

 

I was also able to format the search text box by adding the following to my skin.css:

.NormalTextBox
{
    border:1px solid #999999;
    background: #fff;
    font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 100.00%;
}


Now does anyone know how I can place my search button image that it is aligned with the search input text box?

Hi!

You just have to add the align settings to the picture in You XML file... 

i.e.  <Value><![CDATA[<img src="images/btn_submit.gif" border="0" vertical-align="middle" alt="Search" />]]> </Value>
