ok, here is a dumb question

re: garden watchdog. if i type in the name of a company that i want to do a search on (up at the top right hand corner), where is the "go" or "search" button? i type it in and then what?

Just hit the enter key on your keyboard. :)

thanks badseed (blushing with dumbness), see, i told you it was a dumb question.

Trackie, where were you when all this http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/560064/ went down?

I feel less & less alone!

max, i must have been sleeping during that thread, altho i do remember reading it now that i look at it. so, the more things change the more they look the same, huh?

We now have a search button! I'm proud to know my being oblivious to the obvious helped to make this a better site!!
Thanks Dave!

Dave47, are you sure you have one in Garden Watchdog? I do not.

i didn't get one either. i hate it when dave plays favorites-LOL

Just because they are namesakes. LOL

The Watchdog probably doesn't have the "go" or "click here" buttons because there's very little room for them - there's already two search boxes up there (one for ZIP and one for name.) It would be a little confusing as well as cluttered to add them (one person's opinion, anyway.)

I know hitting "enter" isn't necessarily intuitive for everyone, but it is becoming more a standard and commonplace manner of navigating textbox searches. These requests (while valid) represent a very small minority viewpoint.

The vast majority of users successfully navigate without a button, and if you're a touch-typist, it's easier to hit "enter" than to raise your hand, find the mouse and move the arrow to click on a "go" button ;o)

Just for the record, no additional space needed:

Oops! I thought I had one. Must have been a flashback.

PS (I forgot it was for "Daves only". Sorry I spilled the beans)

I had the same trouble as trackin sand the first time or two on the search button. The reason was that it didn't kick in for several seconds.
