Yes, I hope this won't offend the hack creator... but here are snippets of my newthread template:

    document.getElementById('findicon').style.cursor = "pointer";
  } else {
    document.getElementById('findicon').src = "$stylevar[imgdir_button]/findicon_off.gif";
    document.getElementById('findicon').style.cursor = "default";
  }
}

		<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">
		<tr>
			<td class="smallfont" colspan="3">$vbphrase[title]:</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" id="subject" onChange="showFind(this);" onKeyUp="showFind(this);" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td>
<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td><img id="findicon" name="findicon" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/findicon_off.gif" alt="Search for existing topics" onclick="openWindow()" /></td>
			<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
			<td><img id="display_posticon" src="$selectedicon[src]" alt="$selectedicon[alt]" /></td>		</tr>
		</table>
		<!-- / subject field -->

Obviously I'm trusting that you can take the applicable small bits and merge them as appropriate into whatever you have.
