multimedia search problem

[serdo]

hi, i am trying to use video search control (GSvideoSearchControl)
and multimedia search control (google.search.SearchControl) together
on a page.
i tried everything and could not get the SearchControl to draw in
TABBED form. then i realized that when i delete <script src="http://
www.google.com/uds/api?file=uds.js&v=1.0&key=ABQIAAAAPU...." script i
can get the results in TABBED form, put uds script back results are
like in a kind of "distorted" LINEAR form.

why is this happening?

does this mean i can not use both together on the same page?

<script src="http://www.google.com/uds/api?

wWwTdG_c3ncXnBQi_xY__X7apxVwhjmKmpz6P1hINBQkGiWY7rtPQgp_LJnGZ2e_gAG9Aw"
type="text/javascript">
</script> //WHEN I TAKE THIS
OUT TABBED RESULTS ARE OK

<script src="http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/videosearch/
gsvideosearch.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
window._uds_vsw_donotrepair = true;
</script>





<script type="text/javascript">
function LoadVideoSearch() {

// establish default tags
var defaultTags = [
{ query: "blue" }
];

// request twoRowMode
var options = {

string_allDone: "done",
largeResultSet:true

};

// create a new GSvideoSearchControl
new GSvideoSearchControl(document.getElementById
("videosearch"),
defaultTags, null, null, options);
}
/**
* Arrange for LoadVideoSearch to run once the page loads.
*/
GSearch.setOnLoadCallback(LoadVideoSearch);
</script>




<script type="text/javascript">

function OnLoad() {

// create a tabbed mode search control
var tabbed = new google.search.SearchControl();

tabbed.addSearcher(new google.search.VideoSearch());
tabbed.addSearcher(new google.search.ImageSearch());

// draw in tabbed layout mode
var drawOptions = new google.search.DrawOptions();
drawOptions.setDrawMode
(google.search.SearchControl.DRAW_MODE_TABBED);

// Draw the tabbed view in the content div
tabbed.draw(document.getElementById("search_control"),
drawOptions);

// Search!
tabbed.execute("blue");
}
google.setOnLoadCallback(OnLoad);
google.load('search', '1');
</script>

one more thing. in this "distorted" LINEAR results display the page
numbers under the result tabs are displayed vertical like:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

one more thing. is there a way to custimize the colors for results'
page numbers. it is always defaulted to googles paging colors. they
are black, and get red when clicked i mean when active. so when you
try to use SearchControl control on a page with black background they
are invisible + it would be really nice to be able to change the color
scheme for them to fit different backgrounds instead of always having
the same look.

It sounds to me as though you're having a CSS problem. Unfortunately,
without being able to see the COMPLETE code for your entire
application, it's virtually impossible to track it down and tell you
how to fix it. I would recommend finding somewhere to host your page
and then posting a link here. There are plenty of free hosting
services out there.

it is just a single asp.net page that i use for my API studies/
trials...not a complicated application and what i pasted here was all
it had except for the DOM elements. it seems to be a css problem,
cause as far as i see css stylings that i changed seems to apply,like
borders,colors. but styles related to draw mode are not applied.i
can't see tabs but can see the "images", "videos" links that switch or
open/close the related containers.

is there a way that i can get a complete sample css file for this
control? i believe i could solve my problem if i had that.

checked out the link you provided and it helped me with some further
customizations so thanks for that, nice entrance your blog has by the
way:)

thanks jeremy...

ok here is the deal.
while i disabled the script source mentioned before, i was getting the
error -'GSearch' is undefined- .
for the line "GSearch.setOnLoadCallback(LoadVideoSearch);", when i
uncommented the script source line then SearchControl was going crazy.
what i have done is disable the script that cause SearchControl to go
mad (css) and comment the line "GSearch.setOnLoadCallback
(LoadVideoSearch);" and call LoadVideoSearch(); on page load. now
everything seem to be fine:) but i wonder if there could be any
drawbacks regarding this workround?

i also want to mention a bug in SearchControl.
when the results are expanded, click the settings button and close it
back. all the results collapse back to minimized form.
i guess this is a bug right?
