      It was tested on the Executive Pro & Enterprise Pro themes however should work on Sample as well. May need slight tweaking of the CSS.

    Hi Brad I’ve been reading your blog now for a while, very very valuable content you share. thanks for that. But now I tried out one tipp of yours – it is adding the expanding seach box in my epik childtheme (genesis). But although I inserted the CSS and uploaded the pngs… just nothing happens. And when I add the genesis searchbox it shows as a huge searc field instead of a good looking small button…
    what am I doing wrong?

    thank you anyways and greetings from Innsbruck (ever been to here in Austria?)
