halo effect around textfields

[sthmpsn1]

How do you create the halo effect around a text input field like Macromedia has on there search textbox on there main page. When you click on it too type it has a green halo around it? How did they create that? I tried applying a themecolor but that didn't work?

Probably just a semi-transparent border added when the textfield gets focus.
