Ask HN: How do you code a search box like on Ticketstumbler?

What is so special about the ticketstumbler search box? It doesn't seem to have auto-fill. is that what you are looking for?

I'm looking to put a wrapper around the actual search box.

You mean the rounded box? It's just a div with a background.

thats it? I feel stupid heh

yeah, its almost all css-based. the submit button is a form image, that is the entire right side of the bubble thing and the interior image. the text box is a text box with no borders inside a div with a background of the left side of the bubble.

one of your more standard css tricks.

It's all there in http://nydus-media.com/ts/css/base.css

It should be noted that I took the lazy man's approach and used <input type="image"/> which means you get those superfluous x and y GET params.

Firebug much? (http://getfirebug.com)
