I’m trying to use this Search Form code but I want to make it so that on Click the magnifying glass icon switches to a Search button. I haven’t been able to figure it out. Any ideas?

<Below this line, in what way does your code behave incorrectly? Include ALL error messages.>

Any ideas?

Yes. How much do you know about jQuery?

What you basically need to do is write a click event function that will fadeOut the search icon, and fadeIn the button in its place. I think toggle could work as well, but I prefer to use the fadeOut / fadeIn effect.

If this didn’t make any sense, please look it up :wink:
