With CSS.

input[type=text]:focus { background-color: blue; } (needs a modern web
browser).

You could also play with the onfocus and onblur events and set
this.style.backgroundColour using JavaScript.

<input type="text" onfocus="this.className+=' focused'"
onblur="this.className=this.className.replace(/\s?focused/g,'')">

and some css:

input.focused {
background-color:#ffe;
}
