Well, the Spartacus problem was found to be a server problem. I checked
with garvin about the issue and the NetMirror account was found to be
broken. I guess we can expect this to be resolved soon.
As for the stretching, I didn't specify any width information on the plugin
itself. The text input box has maxlength specified to 255, but that's used
to limit the number of characters that the user can input, and has nothing
to do with actual width of the box.
Does the stretching occur without the button, though?
Sidebar width...

The stretching was also before the button, but not as much. It increased just slightly, maybe a 1/16 of an inch. Just enough to make some images I had aligned in an entry to stack so that's how I noticed it. As I said, it's not too big of a deal, I moved it to the other side where it is wider because of the calendar plugin. This brings up a question though. Is it possible to define the width of the sidebars?

I defined the width using the theme's style.css on my website.
.serendipitySideBarContent input {
width: 150px;
}
This basically set the input boxes on the sidebar to 150 pixels by default.
Thanks...

You hit a home run Wesley! My custom theme did not have that entry in my style.css. Once I put that in (changed to 100px however) everything was back to normal. Thanks again!
Update...
I removed that entry (since it made the Go button larger as well and changed a different value in the same file.
Code: Select all
#serendipityLeftSideBar,
#serendipityRightSideBar {
display: block;
padding: 10px;
width: 13em;
vertical-align: top;
}
By changing the width value I was able to effect just the size of the sidebar separately.

Yes, you can do that with CSS background-image specifications.
There are several sites out there who imitate that look via CSS...maybe you can find some of those pages.

MSB, I think for that you need to modify the plugin PHP file...
