There is a validation error in modules/mod_virtuemart_search/tmpl/default.php line 6
<?php $output = '<input name="keyword" id="mod_virtuemart_search" maxlength="'.$maxlength.'" alt="'.$button_text.'" class="inputbox'.$moduleclass_sfx.'" type="text" size="'.$width.'" value="'.$text.'" onblur="if(this.value==\'\') this.value=\''.$text.'\';" onfocus="if(this.value==\''.$text.'\') this.value=\'\';" />';
Validation error:
QuoteAttribute alt not allowed on element input at this point.
The attribute alt is only allowed for type="image". Alt should be removed:
<?php $output = '<input name="keyword" id="mod_virtuemart_search" maxlength="'.$maxlength.'" class="inputbox'.$moduleclass_sfx.'" type="text" size="'.$width.'" value="'.$text.'" onblur="if(this.value==\'\') this.value=\''.$text.'\';" onfocus="if(this.value==\''.$text.'\') this.value=\'\';" />';
The alt attribute should probably be moved to line 11:
$button = '<input style="vertical-align :middle;height:16px;border: 1px solid #CCC;" type="image" alt="'.$button_text.'" value="'.$button_text.'" class="button'.$moduleclass_sfx.'" src="'.$image.'" onclick="this.form.keyword.focus();"/>';
A fix can in the mean time be applied to an override in Your template directory: templates/your_template/html/mod_virtuemart_search/default.php

Hi,
I don't know why so many programmer(and template maker use alt in another case as for images.
title is the only attribute to use when the html tag is not img (if this have a sens, most of time only for A tag).
All this to say i approve your codes fixes ;)
Hi Studio 42
Great suggestion, didn´t think of using title. So instead of using alt on line 6 title could be used:
<?php $output = '<input name="keyword" id="mod_virtuemart_search" maxlength="'.$maxlength.'" title="'.$button_text.'" class="inputbox'.$moduleclass_sfx.'" type="text" size="'.$width.'" value="'.$text.'" onblur="if(this.value==\'\') this.value=\''.$text.'\';" onfocus="if(this.value==\''.$text.'\') this.value=\'\';" />';
Together with adding the alt code in line 11.
$button = '<input style="vertical-align :middle;height:16px;border: 1px solid #CCC;" type="image" alt="'.$button_text.'" value="'.$button_text.'" class="button'.$moduleclass_sfx.'" src="'.$image.'" onclick="this.form.keyword.focus();"/>';
