Seach box Size

[James13009]

im trying to make the search box bigger but nothing seems to be happening

<table border="0" width = "500" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
		  <tr>
			<td class="form_main_search_box_td" width = "500">
           <input type="hidden" name="page" value="search" />
           <input type="hidden" name="PR" value="-1" />
           <input type="hidden" name="TB" value="A" />
           <input type="text" name="SS"  value="search words..." onfocus="this.value='';" class="form_main_search_box" size="50" />
         </td>

this is the code im using and the size is what im trying to change but nothing happens

Are you changing the 500 value at the top or the 50 towards the bottom?

size 50 to somthing bigger is what im trying.

its somthing i need to change in the preset class but can't find it

[leehack]

Is it contained within an outer layout, something that is restricting its growth? If the outer layout is restricting, it will probably not let it grow as you wish. Hard to say without your code to see. If its in a sidebar, id expect the sidebar to have a size set smaller than you are trying to get the search box.

don't worry now, just deleted the the class and going to set it up my self, thanks for your help though
