I confirmed this is IE7 white space bug !!!

if you comment out white-space for section #gumax-searchBody in CSS file, IE7 works fine.

#gumax-searchBody {
/* border: 1px solid #99FF00; /* testing */
background: none;
position: relative;
padding: 0;
/* white-space: nowrap; /* for Opera */
vertical-align: middle;
}

But this will break IE7 layout....

The fix is on the way ...

Alright, here is the fix:

just replace gumax-searchBody section with following:

#gumax-searchBody {
/* border: 1px solid #99FF00; /* testing */
background: none;
position: relative;
padding: 0;
width: 220px;
vertical-align: middle;
}

This should do the job!

Lol, I'm a little fast this time...

I overcame the problem by commenting out
background: transparent; /* background color of the text field */

I prefer the search field background being white anyway, though I'm not sure why this fixes the problem.

Oh, I didn't know that, I guess these are relate to IE7 bugs ...
