Hi Guys,

I am trying to create a search box like the one on [macromedia.com](http://macromedia.com) so that when the user clicks inside the box the box has a highlight/glow effect to it. I have spent a couple of hours working on this and cannot figure out how to achieve this effect. I was wondering if any of you knew how to do this. Thanks so much for your help!
