Help a Newbie with the Search box script?

    Hi, first off thanks for the free search tool for my blog. It's a TypePad blog, I don't know anything about web coding. So I threw the html for the search box into my sidebar, and the search box looks ok (if you scroll down it's there).

    http://www.rotoauthority.com/

    What I'm wondering is, how do I get rid of the white border that's around my search box? I played with the width, height, and margins, but I couldn't get it to go away. I thought margin=0 might do it but it didn't. This is what I currently have:

    <iframe style="width:163px; height:27px; margin:5px;" frameborder=0 scrolling=no src="http://search.digitalpoint.com/iframe.php?site=www.rotoauthority.com&s=100&b=1&y=1"></iframe>

    I appreciate any help!

    Tim

    I don't see a white border. What browser are you using?

    I'm using IE. It's whiteness for a few pixels surrounding the actual search box. On the top and left sides of it.

    Try making the iframe code as follows:
    <iframe style="width:163px; height:27px; margin:5px;" frameborder=0 allowtransparency=yes scrolling=no src="http://search.digitalpoint.com/iframe.php?site=www.rotoauthority.com&s=100&b=1&y=1"></iframe>
    HTML:
    Basically just added the allowtransparency=yes attribute.
