Don't show certain div on front page?

Question

I have CSS issues with a certain div only on the front page (front-page.php). As I can't fix it, I was thinking about removing the item, but only on the front-page.

I'm not exactly sure how I have to code this in Wordpress.

I want this div in the Header to show up everywhere but on the front-page.php:

<!-- BEGIN TOP SEARCH -->

<form id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/" method="get">
                    <input type="submit" value="" id="searchsubmit"/>
<input type="text" class="field" name="s" id="s" value="Search or be lost" onfocus="this.value=''" />

                </form>
            </div>
            <!-- END TOP SEARCH -->

Is this possible?

Answer 1

I think japanworm do not want it on the frontpage, the code above let's it display only on the frontpage.

You can exclude something (if not) by putting an ! before the tag. What you want to say is:

If it isn't front page than display the form

So it would actually be

<?php if( !is_front_page() ) { //if we are not on the front page ?>
the code of your form
<?php } ?>

Answer 2

You want is_front_page

if (!is_front_page()) { ?>
  <!-- BEGIN TOP SEARCH -->

    <form id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/" method="get">
      <input type="submit" value="" id="searchsubmit"/>
      <input type="text" class="field" name="s" id="s" value="Search or be lost" onfocus="this.value=''" />
    </form>
  </div>
  <!-- END TOP SEARCH --><?php
}

Take a look at the list of Conditional Tags. It is all in the Codex.

By the way, there is a stray </div>. That may be why this markup doesn't work the way expect.
