SharePoint Search Inputs and IE6

SO…you have users that STILL use IE6. There, there, I know. Let's get out our IE6 voodoo doll and start a'pinnin.

You've got a fantastic non-boring search input. It puts the pop in wow. Until you check on your IE6 test site, and #$(*%)#@(*%^)(*!@$(). Nothing.

Well, you can just add this bit to your master page somewhere in the head tag:

<!–[if lt IE 7]>
<style type= "text/css">
 #search input {border-width: 2px !important;border-style:inset !important;}
</style>
<![endif]–>

Where "#search" is the id of your search. Of course, would be .search if  you used a class. You get the idea! Basically, if someone out there in your SharePoint audience still has IE6, then they get a 2px border and an inset to boot, just to throw a bone. And that's all. So there.
