Setting the colour of the search box text on a public website

I am using the search box snippet in the header of my public website.
The background of the header is a dark blue. The search box background is transparent so the default colour of the text (#444) on the dark blue background is barely visible.
The text colour appears to be set by the following entry in corev15.css:
input[type=password],
input[type=text],
input[type=file],
select,
textarea,
.sp-peoplepicker-topLevel,
.sp-peoplepicker-topLevelDisabled,
.sp-peoplepicker-autoFillContainer,
.ms-inputBox
border:1px solid #B0B0B0;
background-color:#fff;
background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);
color:#FFFFFF;
I changed the colour from #444 to #FFFFFF.
Now I want to create a new post in the Blog. The new post's Title and Body fields use the same entry in corev15.css to set the colour of the text. As the background of the new post is white the text is invisible!
Using the F12 development function in IE, setting the colour of the Search box text with an inline function works, but when I add style="color:white" to the <input> of the Search box snippet it seems to be ignored.
What am I doing wrong? Is there another way around the problem (I don't want to change the background colour of the header nor the background of the post page and there is no colour that will display the text well enough against both backgrounds).
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Thanks for your help, Patrick.
Adding color: white !important; inline in the <input tag of the Search box snippet is still ignored, however. When I look at the HTML and CSS with F12 in IE, the inline mark-up is not set. I guess this something to do with how the Search Box
snippet works?
I've made some progress, though. All the pages of the site (except the Blog NewPost page) use the corev15.css file. So I've set the colour here to white. The css entry is:
input[type=password],
input[type=text],
input[type=file],
select,
textarea,
.sp-peoplepicker-topLevel,
.sp-peoplepicker-topLevelDisabled,
.sp-peoplepicker-autoFillContainer,
.ms-inputBox
border:1px solid #B0B0B0;
background-color:#fff;
background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);
color:#FFFFFF;
The Blog NewPost page uses \_catalog\theme\themed\CDD8DBA6/COREV15-51C31438.themedcss. I've changed the same CSS entry as follows:
input[type=password],
input[type=text],
input[type=file],
select,
textarea,
.sp-peoplepicker-topLevel,
.sp-peoplepicker-topLevelDisabled,
.sp-peoplepicker-autoFillContainer,
.ms-inputBox
border:1px solid #B0B0B0;
background-color:#fff;
background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);
color:#444 !important;
Now this page sets the colour to #444. This means that the text in the Title and Body fields is visible but the text in the Search Box (with its dark blue background) is not.
The Search Box on Blog NewPost is not vital but I'd like to fix it. How can I do this?

RE: Firefox search box - manage search engines - get more search engines.. IT DOESN'T WORK , I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

RE: Firefox search box -> manage search engines -> get more search engines..
IT DOESN'T WORK
I just want to add youtube + some others to the list of sites in the Firefox search box, I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

Hi Kvoter,
What are you hoping for, firefox to display lists of sites you have visited or bookmarked ?
*''' it should be able to do that'''
* my firefox does that
I am only a fellow ordinary user of Firefox & XP, but maybe the problem is on your machine, rather than needing a fix from firefox. If you take a little time to read this you may be able to sort out the problems yourself.
I hope you do not mind me covering a few basics:
* the [[Search bar]] { <-- clickable link -- ] is designed to produce a lot or results, whereas
*the [[Location bar search|Location Bar]] is a lot more specific and may be [[Location bar autocomplete#w_controlling-behavior|set]] to include or exclude History & or [[bookmarks]]
If you are getting literally 1000s of totally unrelated results you may need to consider [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]
Hope to hear that you have solved the problem, or a bit more detail about what still is a problem.

Windows xp old desktop, downloaded firefox, able to search web with google in top righthand corner, but can't search using the firefox search box, why not?

Computer novice, with old windows xp desktop, changed to firefox, have firefox as homepage, but can't use the central firefox search box, I type a word, click on search .......and....wait.......nothing happens. Have been able to use the top right hand corner search box (set on google). Not great with computers, so feel like I'm really missing something basic! Help! Thanks!

hello, please see if installing the search reset addon can resolve the issue: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ (a restart of the browser is necessary afterwards).

I would like to know how to force Firefox search box results to open in a new tab?

Results from any entry into the Firefox search box currently return in the tab that's open, regardless the location.
Is there a way to force "open in a new tab" without having to open a blank tab to keep the results from changing the current tab to the search resource location?

For the Google search bar on the Navigation toolbar you can set the pref browser.search.openintab to true on the about:config page.

Searching a text file and printing the line if found!

Hi, Im fairly new to JAVA and have been googling this for hours and havent found any results that
have helped me...
Im looking to search a text file for a value that is in a that is delimited by colons
eg 45787 : 398948 : 398884 : 398984
IF that value is found I need to print this entire line and move it into a string.
I can work out the delimit part, the problem for me is a)searching the text file
and b) tell java to print that line only??
Any help would be very very much appreciated
Cheers
James

public void printCourses() throws Exception

               int i=0;

               while(sc.hasNextLine())

               System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseCode);
               System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseName);
               System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseName);
               System.out.println("-----------------");
               String courseCode2 = "courseObjArray[i1].courseCode";
               if (courseCode2 == "12345")
                    System.out.println("working");
               else{System.out.println("Not Found");}
       }hmmm just wondering why could this method always return a "Not Found"....if the text file had a whole bunch of values like this
12345:Course1
12344:Course2
12343:Course3
isnt it surposed to return 1 "Working"?? because there is a 12345 in on of the line, in the semi colon delimited line with 2 values, one being the course code, one being the course name??
Given that there is 10 lines (from Array Object)

Problem editing text color and page properties due to favicon link

I recently added a link to a sites favicon using the link tag. Following advice on the net this was added beneath the HTML tag and before the HEAD tag. I was using a Dreamweaver template for the site and it updated all pages with the new link in the non-editable area above HEAD and just after the template declaration.
This was fine, unitl the user went to edit the site. He found that he could no longer get to page properties as he got an error that no page properties existed in editable areas... although there was an editable region for the page title. Also text color and highlighting were now disabled.
Moving the link tag into the head area has resolved the editing issue, but it seems a strange bug. Is there some way to add something between HTML and HEAD and have it appear before the InstanceBegin of the template?

You can edit text in any PDF by using trial version but as for as my knowledge and limited experience with Adobe I could not find any text color option in Adobe Acrobat. But you can highlight text in Adobe Acrobat. If you want to change the text color in PDF, I would like to recommend some another software which allows you to change the color of text and is available for download here.
Let me tell you how can change text color using this software. Open PDF file > go to "edit tab" > Click "edit" then highlight text to change the color. As you can see in the below screenshot.
Free free to ask. Hope it helps you. Don't forget to come back to share your views.

Firefox search box no longer displays any search engines and won't save any new ones

A while back the default search box in firefox 4 randomly lost all the search engines in it and the box to restore defaults is permanently greyed out so I can't restore it. I've tried deleting the files mentioned in other responses as well as just moving them out of the folder with no success. I feel that the only way to possibly fix this is to completely remove all traces of firefox from my laptop and reinstall but i'd rather not go through reinstalling all the add ons I have etc if it can be helped with a simpler fix.

I said in my initial post that I had tried all those fixes. Tried everything with the sqlite files and the form history. No luck. Don't have either of the extensions and it can't be any of the others as even in safe mode it still isn't any different. I have also performed plenty of virus scans and nothing has come up.

How can I prevent firefox from displaying an overall black page after I request a topic search in the google/firefox search box? Not able to see results

I loaded Mozilla v31 on my PC laptop which uses Windows XP operating system with all current updates. When I click on my internet icon, it leads me to the Mozilla page with a Google search bar. Once I type a topic in and click for the search to begin, the Firefox page turns all black and I am not able to see any results or action being taken. I click on the back arrow and enter a new topic, and click on search button, it repeats the same behavior and the Firefox page turns black. Essentially Mozilla Firefox is not a usable browser unless I can fix it. Help!

When this happens, has the address bar changed to a google.com address or is it still blank?
Some graphical glitches are caused by an incompatibility between Firefox and your graphics card drivers. The standard workaround for bypassing this is to disable Firefox from using hardware acceleration. You can make that change here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
That will take effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it up again.
More generally:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Search box text used by command-F search - can this be changed?

I started using Safari much more in Leopard than I previously did before. One annoying thing I have discovered is that if I use the search box to search the Internet, whatever I entered now becomes the search text when I use command-g (Find again) or command-f (Find).
This is not the behavior I am accustomed to with Firefox. In Firefox using the search box has no affect on the text used by command-f (Find) and command-g (Find again).
I have looked through the preferences and options but haven't found anyway to change Safari's behavior. Do you have a solution?

Hi Duane,
I must admit you have me stumped as well. I noticed that command-f also picks up what I last entered in Spotlight and the search text is retained across Safari restarts.
For the life of me I can't see where it's picking this information from. I even searched all my user files via find/grep to see where it was storing it between starts - nothing found...
The only good thing about the 'weirdness' is that the search text is selected by default so you can immediately overwrite it.
Very odd...

Firefox: Change toolbar text color

Hello guys,
I saw some very awesome threads in the artwork section and I thought someone here might be able help me make firefox sexier (sorry if I posted in the wrong section! should this be on artwork? newbie?).
Could anyone supply the CSS code/element (for userChrome.css) I need to change so font color in the toolbar items changes?
(I want to change the "Back","Reload","Home" color form black to white when they are active)
I tried some stuff I found on google like:
menubar, menubutton, menulist, menu, menuitem {
color: white ! important;
But to no avail.
I think it should be something like 'toolbar' or 'navigation-buttons' (instead of the 'menu' elements) because they are originally from the 'Navigation toolbar' (I just clicked 'Customize' to move them up).
Thanks!

/edit misread your question i think, you want to change the the menu text?
heres what i have for tabs.
/* Change text to green for selected tabs. */
tab[selected="true"] .tab-text {
color: #87c300 !important;
/* remove +newtab button */
.tabs-newtab-button {
display: none;
/* Change the tab-bar height */
.tabbrowser-strip
height: 16px !important;
/* background-color: #888888 !important; */
* remove tab favicons */
.tab-icon-image {
display: none !important;
and changed their width in about:config

How do I stop the Google Search Box from opening and scrolling down when I use the PGDN key?

On My Home Page (Earthlink) - when I use the PGDN (or the down arrow) key to navigate - the google search box opens and scrolls down through recent searches. I really want to just scroll down the home page as I did in the past.
How do I fix?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

Possible to change review text color and wording

I've searched high and wide to try changing the text color for the review mode field "CORRECT ANSWERS" that shows on a fill in the blank/ short answer question. Ideally I'd like white text (it's set at black) and I'd like to have it say "Correct answer(s)" or even somethinge else. I don't like the all caps that's used either.
I've looked at the Object Style Manager but I don't see this particular field available/editable. Has anyone found where in the c:\Program Files\Adobe... files this setting is controlled - a .dll, .xml, .txt? I don't mind changing it to white there if I have to.

Hi, thanks. Cap 7. I whipped up that course from scratch, no particular theme applied. Also to answer your question, I looked at the master slide and that particular review mode field isn't present, just the initial objects like the text input field.It's frustrating how everything but the CORRECT ANSWERS label is editable via the Object Style Manager. Why they forgot to include it is beyond me. I'm left at using "Hack a Cap" methodology by looking at all the .dll, txt. xml files hoping to fix it there because as far as I know you can't just turn the CORRECT ANSWERS field off even if you wanted to. Unfortunately almost all of our screenshots in our courses will have a royal blue background.
