How do you make a flat-looking button or text field?

How does one make a flat-looking button or text field? That is with no bevelled
edges, maybe just a thin line on the edge?

I know you can do it with Macromedia Flash but there must be other ways.

I know you could use an image button but this wouldn't have any client-side
behavior like hover or mouse down.

I have just about every cool software tool available. I'm just not sure of the
best angle to attack this problem.

Let me rephrase the question. What's the easiest way to make a flat-look button
that changes its appearance on mouseDown?

Thanks for your help.

input[type=submit] {
/* Normal Style */
}

input[type=submit]:active {
/* Style on mouse down */
}

Its a pity MSIE is so far behind the times. You'll need JavaScript to have
any effect there.
