Thank you Gilbert. I mostly understand how the code you wrote above works. Can you explain two details?

1st question:

#Srch .NormalTextbox <-----what is this? Is this how to put a css style for a <span></span> used in my html file? Do I include the pound symbol?

2nd question:

<Object>
  <Token>[SEARCH]</Token>
  <Settings>
    <Setting>
      <Name>Submit</Name>
<Value><![CDATA[<img style=&quot; vertical-align: middle; text-align: left&quot; alt=&quot;Zoek&quot; src=&quot;Srch.gif&quot; />]]> </Value>

What's all that cdata for? do I need all that just to make the word SEARCH be white?

Thanks so much for all your help! This has been quite a struggle for me.

This is driving me insane. The word SEARCH is now white (like I want) but it's the wrong typeface. It is displaying times roman normal, and I want arial bold. It has to be a default because I haven't got anything at all setup as times.

In addition, I can't get the SOLPART menu to move either up or down. I hate that thing! It needs to move up so that it will align right on my menu bar, but nothing I do makes it move. I'm so ****Frustrated!***

The menu is on the same line as my search thing like this (centered).

[SOLPARTMENU]              [BREADCRUMB]                [SEARCH]

Each is in a TD and they are all aligned vertically exactly the same but one goes up and the other goes down!

How can I ever get this page done when I spend all my time trying to make ONE word be white and the rest of it trying to get a menu to move?

~Bee (out of patience and time now.)

Actually - if I'm correct I think there is some bheaviour with the command link and search function that requires you to have different classes.  Tha'ts not a DNN issue to my knowledge. since on our older asp sites when we configured text boxes and command link functions, there was often some slight differences in the behaviour of the text..

Also the fallback on any of your code - if you have not configured the css correctly - it will ALWAYS go back to the html default of times new roman and those wonderful colour links - blue / purple. So there is no text formatting assigned - if you choose to do your own classes, specifically with the command link - you will need to assign your text formatting too I'm pretty sure about that.

I feel for your frustration - I really do.. what do you mean menu moving up or down? you mean the placement in the TD Tag.. Sometimes I've resorted to sitting small gif images in areas that I feel I simply cant' get working and then increase the height of them - to adjust how things sit.

So what is actually out - each one of them - or just solpart now?
