Search Box on Front HTML page

[DVDBritain]

Hi,

I asked this before but could not get it working... anyone can give me simple instructions on how to get the search box on the front html page?

I want my front page to look like my shop pages and without the search its going to look slightly strange.

Thanks in advance

You might want to try viewing the source code a page that has the search box within it, copy the code that provides your search box and paste that straight into your front page, but changes any relative references to cgi's etc with full urls of http://www etc etc

All the best..

Tried that

Yeah i cut and pasted the code from another page but it didnt work

Has anyone been successful on this? And really it should be added if possible to the product.

I have done this a couple of times and it has worked well.

I copy and paste the entire HTML table that contains the simple search box (which includes all the <form> tags and all the hidden input fields required) from a page in my 'SiteHTML' folder into by Act_BrochurePrimary.html template.

I normally use Dreamweaver to do this - just select the table and then copy it to the clipboard.

If it does not work straight off, then try adding an <input> field similar to the following within the <form> tags of the simple search form:

<input type="hidden" name="ACTINIC_REFERRER" value="http://your.web.site.address/acatalog">
