Move the search dropdown menu to appear above the search input box in sharepoint 2010

Basically by default the search dropdown menu appears on the left of the search box in an additional , i want it to appear above the search input field, is there built in functionality on t开发者_如何学Che control to do so?

There is no built-in functionality to change the layout of the search box. As it is a delegate control there isn't much you can change either - but what I did in a recent customization project:

Use Javascript to pull out the scopes dropdown and just place it somewhere else. The dropdown aswell as the input box, both sit within a table in the following structure:

<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td><select ...><!--scopes dropdown--></td>
            <td><input ...><!--search box --></td>
            <td><input ...><!--search button --></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

With either jQuery or just regular Javascript you could get the innerHTML of the scope dropdown td and just place it anywhere else on the page.
