Sorry, I didn't explain my problem very well. I don't want to position the image but to indent the text. I tried with padding, but it just widens the box. Text-indent didn't work. I made the text input field a block element by floating it. Here is the example page: http://home.comcast.net/~martinpetrov/example/ I want to have a search box that looks like the search boxes in the toolbars of browsers like Opera and Firefox. They have an image showing what search engine you are using. At least I don't need the drop down list :) ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL-REMOVED]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
