Question

I want to create an input field like Android Ice Cream Sandwich’s one in HTML/CSS only and without using images.
I’m stuck with making these small borders (the image below), It would be great if anybody could help.

EDIT

I’d like to include owencm’s comment for people stumbling across this question, as i find it quite elegant:

CSS

input.holo[type='text'] {
    /* You can set width to whatever you like */
    width: 200px;
    font-family: "Roboto", "Droid Sans", sans-serif;
    font-size: 16px;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 8px 8px 6px 8px;
    position: relative;
    display: block;
    outline: none;
    border: none;
    background: bottom left linear-gradient(#a9a9a9, #a9a9a9) no-repeat, bottom center linear-gradient(#a9a9a9, #a9a9a9) repeat-x, bottom right linear-gradient(#a9a9a9, #a9a9a9) no-repeat;
    background-size: 1px 6px, 1px 1px, 1px 6px;
}
input.holo[type='text']:hover, input.holo[type='text']:focus {
    background: bottom left linear-gradient(#0099cc, #0099cc) no-repeat, bottom center linear-gradient(#0099cc, #0099cc) repeat-x, bottom right linear-gradient(#0099cc, #0099cc) no-repeat;
    background-size: 1px 6px, 1px 1px, 1px 6px; 
} 

HTML

<input type='text' class='holo'/>
