Amaretto is listed in the "Liquor Cabinet" category of liquids :)

there's also an almond champagne listed in the champagne category.

Though it is kind of fun browsing through the categories, a search function would be nice when you're looking for something specific.

There is one. It's just not very visible. It's right under the CASAA logo.

ETA: There are also Amaretto and Almond Cheesecakes.

Thanks CES! Yes, search boxes are necessary. deej's been around long enough to know that so I wonder why there's no search there? Anyhow, thanks again!

We tried changing the search box and it broke the site. Shadav I sent you a PM.

If it won't let you make the box white or outline it better, maybe it would let you do something minor like making the words "Enter Search" is a garish color. Not ideal but it might stand out a bit more.

looking at the code part of your problem is

<input type="text" name="keyword" size="18" maxlength="100" style="width: 70;" value="Enter search keywords here" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Enter search keywords here') this.value = '';" onblur="if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Enter search keywords here';">

your width should be equal to or greater than your maxlength ;)

to make the whole term Enter search keywords here and make the font white replace the above code with
<input type="text" name="keyword" size="18" maxlength="170" style="width: 170px;color: white;" value="Enter search keywords here" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Enter search keywords here') this.value = '';" onblur="if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Enter search keywords here';">

Yeah, the background color is because the css is using rgba with the alpha set to 0, so the background is visible... you will need to over-ride that... same thing is happening with the search button... I'm betting the 'width: 70' portion was something like 'width: 70%' once upon a time... CSS is also why you lack the border around the button etc,. Yeah, let's blame it all on the CSS ;)

There are probably times when Deej bangs his head against the wall, saying "I thought I left this behind when I stopped beta testing software."

Me, I can get basic coding right about 25% of the time if I keep tabs open to multiple instruction pages and
put in an unnecessary return
after each instruction
so I can proof it when it doesn't work

yes, yes... I know that I suck...

I had somebody do the CSS and other look/feel stuff. I did the product entry stuff. They've moved on to other (more lucrative) things, and since my web skills are barely above zero, it's been all I can do to keep things running with some semblance of coherency.

All of my coding experience is back-end oriented. I'm trying to learn the SQL, CSS, PHP and HTML I need to follow-up on all these requests/complaints, but that's within the context of trying to keep up with orders.

I'm only now finishing up the coding to automate (to the extent possible) the overhead activities with running deejStuff. The whole process of planning mixing runs, getting bottles labeled, capping and shipping takes about 5 to 6 times more effort than mixing. With the changes I've made I think I've gotten that down to 2 or 3 times.

Now it's all-hands-on-deck to try and clear out the order backlog.

Wish we could afford to bring on a webmaster... sigh...
