Oh. Okay. I'll do. ;-D

Can I add a display:none via the Typo3 CSS styler?
For example, if I choose to edit the "Search box" in the CSS styler, it 
seems that my options are limited to setting margins. And defining the 
style of the actual text output.

Well, according to my design guide (which I learned to really, deeply hate 
with the time 'cause it seems to be cast in stone) the dotted line has to 
be a blue dot with *two* transparent dots following (and that's repeated). 
My current knowledge on border-style just gives me a 
one-blue-one-transparent-dotted solution. :P

When it comes to CSS, I'm still *very* impressed with 
http://www.csszengarden.com/ (try the different designs linked on the 
right). However, the indexed search is far from being that flexible. :(
