width of adv search input box and protostar template

Hello,

i am on Joomla 3.3.6 with Flexicontent 2.2.1 rc and using protostar template with flexi advanced search modul on position 7 (right). No matter which length of input box i choose in module preferences, it does not change and input box is going out of template boarder.

Now after some looking around, it seems, protostar is ignoring this input and as a workaround i added following lines to the template css. After this, at least normal joomla search module (which did wrong either) is listening to the pixels in css. Unfortunately flexi advanced search does not. Please see attached screenshot.

What should i do to shorten the input box?

Thank you and best regards, Macjoomla

Hello

short answer: use a more specific rule:
to make rule more specific e.g. prepend body, like this


even if we remove, !important the 150px, will still take effect, because the CSS rule is specific, since it uses an HTML id TAG

Hello

but probably this rule should use a percentage !!

and not fixed pixels !!

hello ggppdk.

thank you for your answer, i replaced my lines with: This works fine for the joomla search module, but flexi advanced search module seems totally unimpressed and does not change size

Hello

there is a minimum width 180px in effect

[updated]

try

Sorry, no luck, no it reads like in my template css, but flexi adv search width does not change.
