How do I make a input text box appear like a fill in the blank line. i.e.

1. is it possible to hide some of its borders and display only the bottom
border?
2.to place is just above a sereies of underscore charactors and have it
borderless? (how)

any other way?

This has nothing to do with PHP.

Stuckle is right this time.
But what the heck. Try this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Borderless Input</title>
<style type="text/css">
#nobbis {
border: 3px solid red;
border-top-style: none;
border-left-style: none;
border-right-style: none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body style="background-color: #dff;">
<form action="#" method="get">
<div>
<input id="nobbis" type="text" name="nobbis" value="Sample text" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

You don't know that. You look more and more like a troller the more you
post lately.

Yes, I DO know that. PHP is server-side, and has nothing to do with how
the data is displayed. All of that is HTML or CSS - which should be
followed up in the appropriate newsgroups.

But if you knew ANYTHING - you would understand that.

Right, but pedantically unhelpful.

And not right to act like its HIS NG.

No, you're obviously being myopic, maybe on purpose. PHP is executed
server-side, but ... it can be written/implemented by either side,
depending. When PHP executes, I can only wonder where you think its
output may go.
