What's the banner container ?

2.set module container is bannercontainer.
3.add this code to text/html module:
<h1>Professional DNN Web Design</h1>
<p>We're perfectionists, focus on the website's accessibility and standard,we can provide professional skin design and the W3C compliant skin</p>
<p><a class="more" href="#"><span>read more</span></a></p>
4.update!
Why don't use the DropDownList in the search ?
Because if we use the UseDropDownList="true" in the skins in the dnn4.90, the dnn core will generate the html code below:
<input name="__dnnVariable" type="hidden" id="__dnnVariable" value="SearchIconWebUrl url(/images/Search/google-icon.gif) SearchIconSiteUrl url(/images/Search/dotnetnuke-icon.gif) SearchIconSelectedS" />
Which can't be validated with W3C, so we set the UseDropDownList="false" ,maybe there will not be same problems in the dnn5.x,if you want to use the dropdown search, you just need to modify the UseDropDownList="true" in the each skin file.
