<ul>
<li>
<h2>Search</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">
<input type="text" value="Enter your search" name="s" id="s" onblur="if (this.value == '') { this.value = 'Enter your search';}" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Enter your search') {this.value = '';}" />

Hey, thanks VK!
Works like a charm.
I’ve put it on my news site where it is very appropriate.

For me it worked fine, no problems. It looks a lot better too with the searchbox, allthough not many people use them, it is a kind of service you have to have on your website I think….
having a search box was a brilliant idea,
It’s A Masterpiece!……………..:)
