Is there any way to easily hide the search boxes in my list once the search has completed and there are 1 or more results?

I have 20 fields to search from (multi-criteria) and this causes the results to push way down below view of the screen area (1280x800 resolution, which is probably standard. I hate to think what it looks like in 800x600). But regardless, the search feature's appearance in CB could use some work in regards to keeping the search box on-screen after a search.

Many of my users think there were no results because they do not see immediate results, and many do not scroll down. I am assuming this is due to other web searches where the results displace the search box after a search is finished.

Can anyone think or know of a way to make the boxes hide after a search is complete (or after clicking the search button)?

I am not a coder, so I have no clue as to making a custom plugin, and I sure don't have the money to pay someone to code a plugin. (Laid off currently)

Or if anyone knows where the code is in CB for the search results, I would be willing to try and at least swap position of results after the search button is clicked. Perhaps even figure out how to make the boxes hide in the process.

Anyone?????

Kril,

You are the man! Worked just as I needed it too....!

Hid the search boxes after results posted.

Thanks for the fast reply and VERY MUCH HELPFUL code.

Oops, spoke too soon in last post. Your code works great if I use the All Users search. But when I search using 1 or more search box criteria, I still have the issue with the boxes remaining. I tried looking at the code and above the code change you provided I found this code and changed this:

[code:1]
// Show the Search Criteria part:
. "\n $('#cbUserListsSearcher').slideDown 'slow');"


[/code:1]

to this:

[code:1]
// Show the Search Criteria part:
. "\n $('#cbUserListsSearcher').slideUp 'slow');"

[/code:1]

But that did not work. What do I need to change to make my results appear the same way (in the code change you provided) for searches where I am selecting a criteria? Like I said, your changes work great if I do nothing but click on the "Find Users" button, or click on the "All Users" link. But if I choose a search box criteria then I am seeing the search boxes again and the results do not slide up and remain at the bottom of search page.

I have attached my php file. Can you look and see if I implemented the coding you gave correctly?
