.navbar-toggle .top-bar {
    transform: rotate(45deg);

z-index: 1001;

width: 100%;

}

#searchbox:hover {

}

width: 22px;

transition: all 0.2s;

}

.navbar-toggle .top-bar {

transform: rotate(45deg);

transform-origin: 10% 10%;

}

.navbar-toggle .middle-bar {

opacity: 0;

}

.navbar-toggle .bottom-bar {

transform: rotate(-45deg);

transform-origin: 10% 90%;

}

.navbar-toggle.collapsed .top-bar {

transform: rotate(0);

}

.navbar-toggle.collapsed .middle-bar {

                $('#formsearch').slideToggle( "fast",function(){
                     $( '#content' ).toggleClass( "moremargin" );
                } );
                $('#searchbox').focus()
                $('.openclosesearch').toggle();
        });

$('#buttonsearch').click(function(){
