Adding Search Box problem

Hi,
I'm upgrading my old html menu with the new Milonic DHTML v5.
I't already looking much better but I am having extreme difficulty adding the search box.

I currently have a working html search an I'd like to incorporate that into the new menu.
Whenever I try and incorporate the code my menu disappears.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Here is the code:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td class="Verd_11pt_Regular" valign="top">
<form name="photosearch" method="post" action="http://www.mystore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?">
<div align="right">
<input type="hidden" name="Store_Code" value="CALB"\>
<input type="hidden" name="Screen" value="SRCHM">
<input type="hidden" name="Search_desc" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="Search_name" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="BrokSearch_Have_List_Fields" value="1">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Search" class="SearchButton">
 
<input type="text" name="Search_search" size="30" value="" class="SearchField">
<br>
<input type="radio" name="CategoryRestrict" value="Clips" checked>
Motions.
<input type="radio" name="CategoryRestrict" value="Photography">
Photography. <img src="graphics/00000001/shim_20x01.gif" width="20" height="1">
</div>
</form>
<div align="right"><img src="graphics/00000001/shim_01x10.gif" width="1" height="10"><img src="graphics/00000001/shim_01x10.gif" width="1" height="10"></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="Verd_11pt_Regular"><img src="graphics/00000001/shim_01x01.gif" width="1" height="1"></td>
</tr>
</table>

Hi,

I haven't done much with forms and tables, but you need to get all the " out and replace them with '

Next, the menu_data.js file isn't going to read your css as to the classes you have set in the table. You can use classes but you'd need to do it with the onclass/offclass parameters of the menu.

You also need to set that aI string where you are putting that search form to type=form;

Here's an example of a table form in an aI string, maybe you can figure how to do yours from this

Code:

aI("text=<form name=blinds onSubmit=\"return change_filter(this)\"><table border=0 width=150><tr><td>Bands</td><td><select name=bands><option>2<option>4<option>6<option>8<option>12<option>20<option selected>50</select></td></tr><tr><td>Direction</td><td><select name=direction><option>'Up'<option>'Down'<option>'Left'<option>'Right'</select></td></tr><tr><td>Duration</td><td><select name=duration><option>0.1<option>0.2<option>0.3<option>0.4<option>0.5<option>0.6<option selected>0.7<option>1.0<option>1.5</select></td></tr><tr><td height=40 colspan=2 valign=bottom align=center><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Activate\" class=\"formButton\"></td></tr></table></form>;type=form;");

You'll notice that anyplace there are " marks there are also \ for example input type=\"submit\"

Also, there is a post by John about search forms in the menu that might help.

Hope this helps.
