Hi, thank you for your response!

I tried so many things. ^.^

I know the code is correct. It displays correctly in this node:
http://www.animecards.org/node/74

the relevant theme code:
$output .= '<table style="width: 100%; vertical-align: top;" cellspacing="0"

cellpadding="0">

<tr>
    <td style="vertical-align: top;" class="headersitename">
      ';
$output .= theme_get_setting('toggle_name') ? variable_get("site_name", "drupal") :

'';
$output .= '</td>
<td style="text-align: right;" class="headersearchbox">';
$output .= theme_get_setting('toggle_search') ? search_box() : '';
$output .= '
</td>
</tr>

';

The relevant css code

.headersearchbox {
    padding-top : 105px;
    padding-right : 150px;
    padding-bottom : 20px;
    width: 50%;
}

#search .form-text {
    width: 8em;
float: left
}

#search .form-submit {
    padding : 0;
}

I know that the first two work. I can't prove that form-submit works, though (doing funky things to it doesn't change anything).

I think the box around it is the container-inline class, but playing with that did me also no good.

I keep coming up with something really smart, and it never works... sigh.

Any help is really appreciated.

Anisa.

I suppose the width of the surrounding box (e.g. div, table-element
...) is too narrow.

Do you know the id/class of the entry field? You can, just for test,
reduce the text length to observe if that helps.

Then look for the box around the search-form-element to make it
wider/broader ...
