<!-- search //-->
<tr>
<td>
<?php
$info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_SEARCH);

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

$info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),
'align' => 'center',
'text' => tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-400) . 'px"') . '&nbsp;' . tep_hide_session_id() . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH) . '<br>' . BOX_SEARCH_TEXT . '<br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '"><b>' . BOX_SEARCH_ADVANCED_SEARCH . '</b></a>');

new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- search_eof //-->

is this the correct code?

< form name="quick_find" method="get"
action="http://www.yoururl.com/advanced_search_result.php">
< input type="text" name="keywords" size="10" maxlength="30" value="" style="width:
95px">&nbsp;<input type="submit" value="go"><br>
< a href="http://www.yoururl.com/advanced_search.php"><b style="fontsize:

Seaming a shopping cart is nothing like google....where would you like it?

Our cart is broken up to 5 main parts. Header, footer, left menu column, right column and the body (the center part) - where most of the cart is changed.

Seamin how SEARCH already can be easy swich from left and right column - so Header, footer or body....???
