 * Hi
 * My theme has a search box that activates the search function by hitting return.
 * I would also to like it to work by clicking on the button that is incorporated
   into the search box.
 * Here on my unfinished site:
 * [http://www.clenz.co.uk](http://www.clenz.co.uk)
 * Is this possible?
 * Here is my code. Thanks in advance for any answers.
 * <h2>Search</h2>
    <form id=”searchform” method=”get” action=”<?php bloginfo(‘home’);?
   >/”> <input type=”text” value=”search this site…” onfocus=”if (this.value == ‘
   search this site…’) {this.value = ”;}” onblur=”if (this.value == ”) {this.value
   = ‘search this site…’;}” size=”18″ maxlength=”50″ name=”s” id=”s” /> </form>
