Quick Search Quirks on Webjobs
Monday, November 10th, 2008Problem: The quick search form uses “Alabama” as the default state if USA is selected in Smartway as the default country. If users don’t think to choose a different state, only the jobs for Alabama will show up.
Solution: If you are using “city” as a write-in field, edit this file: smartway/conf/quick_search_city.xml. Around line 22, find the form field for state. Add this: blankline=”all_states” .
So your line 22 will look something like:
<input name=”state” type=”select” table=”jb_states” blankline=”all_states” key=”name” value=”name” required=”1″ otherattr=”onChange=”javascript:document.quicksearch.action.value=’load_cities’;document.quicksearch.city.value=”;document.quicksearch.submit();”">state</input>
Problem: No matter how I try to align the secondary quick search box, it still shows up on the left side of the page.
Solution: Around line 966 of career_style.css, add a left margin, like this:   margin-left: 33px;
. You may need to adjust the number of pixels to fit your page design.
