Search .... not dispearing in VM-Search in Shop

[bmw2182]

I have Search... in my search box and it always use to disappear when you put your cursor in the box and allow you to type what you want to search.  Now the word remains there and the viewer has to backspace over it to remove it before typing in their item to search for.  Is there anyway to fix this?

Hello,

/modules/mod_virtuemart_search/tpl/default.php,  this line:

   <?php $output = '<input name="keyword" id="mod_virtuemart_search" maxlength="'.$maxlength.'" placeholder="'.$button_text.'" class="inputbox'.$moduleclass_sfx.'" type="text" size="'.$width.'" value="'.$text.'" />';

change to:

   <?php $output = '<input name="keyword" id="mod_virtuemart_search" maxlength="'.$maxlength.'" placeholder="'.$text.'" class="inputbox'.$moduleclass_sfx.'" type="text" size="'.$width.'" />';

This time, do that in VirtueMart Core files, not in an override. With the next VM version, the files will be overridden by the new files that contain the fix and give you the option to choose a value for the attribute placeholder.

Regards
Stefan
