We got an idea on how to implement custom textfields in CSS and HTML in an earlier post. So, I went ahead and put together a few free textfield or search field background images. These are just some examples to give you an idea of what you can create. I made them in Illustrator and they are free. I have also included the HTML and CSS for each image as a reference. The download below comes with png files, gif files, the CSS, the HTML, and the Illustrator file. Everything you need to get started.

Tired of those normal old text field boxes? Well, we are going to create our own custom text field. You can use it on a form or for your search field on your blog. We will start out by simply using CSS to customize the color of the text field's background and border. It's simple, but it can make a big difference and help your search field or form fit in with the design of your site.
