Question

I want to develop a login page for my application. I searched on Internet and found a .psd file. I will write my own JavaScript code for it but how can I use that .psd file to get css files and images suitable to use for programmatic purposes?

EDIT

You can find some PSD-to-CSS converters like: http://psd2htmlconverter.com/en/
But you’ll get a bunch of non-sense html markups and CSS code
With a bit of knowlecge of HTML-CSS you can create anything you want by just seeing an image and with a basic image-editor.

Why you just don’t use pure CSS / CSS3 ?

And a bit of jQuery magic?
(With NO images used!)

    font-weight:bold;
    color:#fff;
    text-shadow: 1px 0px 1px #999;
    filter: dropshadow(color=#999, offx=1, offy=1);
    background: #b3e1ef; /* Old browsers */
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #b3e1ef 0%, #7eafcd 100%, #a8d1dd 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
    background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#b3e1ef), color-stop(100%,#7eafcd), color-stop(100%,#a8d1dd)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #b3e1ef 0%,#7eafcd 100%,#a8d1dd 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
    background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #b3e1ef 0%,#7eafcd 100%,#a8d1dd 100%); /* Opera11.10+ */
    background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #b3e1ef 0%,#7eafcd 100%,#a8d1dd 100%); /* IE10+ */
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#b3e1ef', endColorstr='#a8d1dd',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
    background: linear-gradient(top, #b3e1ef 0%,#7eafcd 100%,#a8d1dd 100%); /* W3C */
}

jQuery:

$('#loginForm input[type="text"]').bind('focus',function(){
   $(this).addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active');
});

$('#loginForm input[type="text"]:eq(0)').focus();
