TextBox Style Like Label?

How can I style a TextBox so it appears like a label when rendered?

Thanks.

I don't think you can. A TextBox and a Label are two different things. A
Label renders "like a label" not because of its styles, but because the
Label control renders as a <span/> element. A TextBox renders as a text box
because it renders as a <input type="text"> element.

I have used CSS to accomplish the reverse (make a label appear like a
textbox) but it should be easily done using CSS, something similar to
below perhaps:

/* Works for all textboxes */
input {
border: none;
background-color: <page background color>
}

/* Works for textboxes with a class of label
input.label {
<same as above>
}

I tested this briefly on my development machine and it works like a
charm.
