CSS/HTML: Create a glowing border around an Input Field

Question

Here you go:

.glowing-border {
    border: 2px solid #dadada;
    border-radius: 7px;
}

.glowing-border:focus { 
    outline: none;
    border-color: #9ecaed;
    box-shadow: 0 0 10px #9ecaed;
}

How about something like this... http://jsfiddle.net/UnsungHero97/Qwpq4/1207/

CSS

input {
    border: 1px solid #4195fc; /* some kind of blue border */

    /* other CSS styles */

    /* round the corners */
    -webkit-border-radius: 4px;
       -moz-border-radius: 4px;
            border-radius: 4px;


    /* make it glow! */
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #4195fc;
       -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #4195fc;
            box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #4195fc; /* some variation of blue for the shadow */

}

Use a normal blue border, a medium border-radius, and a blue box-shadow with position 0 0.

SLaks hit the nail on the head but you might want to look over the changes for inputs in CSS3 in general. Rounded corners and box-shadow are both new features in CSS3 and will let you do exactly what you're looking for. One of my personal favorite links for CSS3/HTML5 is http://diveintohtml5.ep.io/ .

I combined two of the previous answers (jsfiddle).

input {
    /* round the corners */
    border-radius: 4px;
    -moz-border-radius: 4px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 4px;    
}

input:focus { 
    outline:none;
    border: 1px solid #4195fc; 
    /* create a BIG glow */
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 14px #4195fc; 
    -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 14px #4195fc;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 14px #4195fc;  
}​

Modified version with little less glowing version.

input {
    /* round the corners */
    //background-color: transparent;
    border: 1px solid;
    height: 20px;
    width: 160px;
    color: #CCC;
    border-radius: 4px;
    -moz-border-radius: 4px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 4px;    
}

input:focus { 
    outline:none;
    border: 1px solid #4195fc; 
    /* create a BIG glow */
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #4195fc; 
    -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #4195fc;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #4195fc;  
}
