Can we PLEASE put it giant sized red letters that the chat box is NOT a search form? It's bugging me.
Maybe not big letters, but something like this:
Put this code in the <input> tag of the search box.
Code:
type="text" class="hint" value="Chat Box..."
onfocus="if (this.className=='hint') { this.className = ''; this.value = ''; }"
onblur="if (this.value == '') { this.className = 'hint'; this.value = 'Chat Box...'; }"
Then inside the chat box's text box, it will say "Chat Box...". When someone clicks inside the box, the letters will disappear and the use can type whatever.
Anyway, it's not my decision, but I'm sure someone thinks something should be done about it.
