[pmwiki-users] searchbox design

[Hans]

Hi,
I am trying to move the code for a sidebar searchbox out of the skin
template, to replace it with a variable which gets defined in the
skin.php. The problem I encounter is that the strings "Search Site"
and "Go" are now displayed as "$[Search Site]" and "$[Go]", i.e. the
translation mechanism fails. How can I get this going?
Here is the code:

Formerly in the skin template, and working fine:
   <div id='sidebarsearch'>
   <form id='wikisearch' action='$ScriptUrl/$[Main/SearchWiki]'>
   <input type='hidden' name='pagename' value='$[Main/SearchWiki]' />
   <input class='wikisearchbox' type='text' name='q' value=' $[Search Site] ' onfocus="if(this.value=' $[Search Site] ') {this.value=''}" onblur="if(this.value=='') {this.value=' $[Search Site] '}" />
   <input name='submit' type='submit' class='wikisearchbutton' value=' $[Go] '/>
   </form></div>

Now in the the skin template and the value names not being rendered
properly:

   <div id='sidebarsearch'>$SidebarSearchbox</div>
   
and in the skin.php:

   global $SidebarSearchbox;
   $SidebarSearchbox = "
          <form id='wikisearch' action='$ScriptUrl/$[Main/SearchWiki]'>
          <input type='hidden' name='pagename' value='$[Main/SearchWiki]' />
          <input class='wikisearchbox' type='text' name='q' value=' $[Search Site] ' onfocus=\"if(this.value=' $[Search Site] ') {this.value=''}\" onblur=\"if(this.value=='') {this.value=' $[Search Site] '}\" />
          <input name='submit' type='submit' class='wikisearchbutton' value=' $[Go] '/>
          </form> ";


Thanks for any assistance!
Best,
 Hans
