    Hello,

    I am curious if anyone has had any luck with making a users cursor start out inside the Adsense for Search box? and how would I go about this if it is possible? I cant seem to find out if it is against their TOS or not. I just sent them a clarification request.

    If so, does anyone know what code I would have to implement?

    Cheers,
    Corey

    The old search code was just a regular html form. You could tweak it
    and not only put the cursor there, but a word. I don't know about the new
    search form. That may be a javascript and you could not tweak that.

    I'm not going to tell you how, this forum is about helping people.

    And helping you would be to say don't do it.

    I am 101% sure it violates the terms of the search box, not to mention regular
    adsense.

    My advice is to skip the search box entirely and concentrate on other ads.

    But judging by your question, I hope you are not doing anything with your adsense
    code to put it in danger.

    Tweak your site, not the code.
