can a form input box be changed to an line using CSS?

I'm trying to do a form but I'm not liking the input boxes. I would like to make it more like a paper form.

In what way? I'm not sure what you're asking for.

so instead of seeing

First name: and an input box

it looks more like

First name:__input goes here_____

Where the line not a box but an actual line...
I 'd rather the viewer not see a box but an actual line to input the information on.

Clear out the borders except for the bottom one.

I was just asking if that was possible I'm guessing that from the answer it is yes... Has any one tried this and are there any examples of this out there?

try this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <!--
  2. .textbox     { border-left-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-top: 1px solid #FFFFFF; 
  3.                border-bottom: 1px solid #FFFFFF }
  4. -->
  5.  
Maybe someone can make it shorter. this one worked for me.
