There isn't a single tutorial on the internet that explains this I'm looking to edit the look of my search box so that it's more "web 2.0". I want the box to be higher than average, with a much bigger font. Here's an example of what I'm looking for- any ideas about how this can be done? Thanks!
Usually you have to use a picture to do it. Check out this link for an example: http://www.dynamiteproxy.com If you check out the css and the source code you will see how it's done. Let me know if you need anymore help and I'll be glad to help
You can either set the form input (be sure to give it a class or ID so that the styles don't affect other inputs to display: block or float: left, then adjust the height, background colors, borders, and text colors as well. Just understand that Safari 2 may not like it very much.
