Hi! I'm no able to localize dnnSearch skin object. Looking at html code I can see:

<input name="dnn$dnnSEARCH$txtSearch" type="text" value="Search" maxlength="255" size="20" id="dnn_dnnSEARCH_txtSearch" class="NormalTextBox" onkeydown="return __dnn_KeyDown(&#39;13&#39;, &#39; __doPostBack(%27dnn$dnnSEARCH$cmdSearch%27,%27%27)&#39;, event);" />&nbsp; <a id="dnn_dnnSEARCH_cmdSearch" class="searchcss" href=" __doPostBack(&#39;dnn$dnnSEARCH$cmdSearch&#39;,&#39;&#39;)">Ricerca</a>

The problem is that value="Search" of the input text is no localized, it is coded inside dotnetnuke.dll. How you can see below only the command text is localized.

It is the value that disappear when the user click on the box to insert the text to search.

Any help about?

Thanks!

2 Solutions that come to mind are: (If you are a programmer)

1) create your own search skin object that does what you need. (Use the DNN one as a starting point)

2) Add a bit of jQuery code to your skin that will set the value "Search" to the translated value you want. (you can also use this to style the search box the way you want)

there is a resource file for each of the skin objects, you should rely on, instead of providing hardcoded text within the skin.

Using the language editor I have changed the Resource Name: Search.Text under \Admin\Skins\App_LocalResources, but the search text inside the input area remains 'search'.
I checked that the locale-portal-n.resx file is well created in the folder.
Am I on the right resource or is the search module hardcoding the key?
