Solution 1 - Html

Here you go:

.glowing-border {
    border: 2px solid #dadada;
    border-radius: 7px;
}

.glowing-border:focus { 
    outline: none;
    border-color: #9ecaed;
    box-shadow: 0 0 10px #9ecaed;
}

Solution 2 - Html

How about something like this... http://jsfiddle.net/UnsungHero97/Qwpq4/1207/

enter image description here

CSS

input {
    border: 1px solid #4195fc; /* some kind of blue border */

    /* other CSS styles */

    /* round the corners */
    -webkit-border-radius: 4px;
       -moz-border-radius: 4px;
            border-radius: 4px;


    /* make it glow! */
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #4195fc;
       -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #4195fc;
            box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #4195fc; /* some variation of blue for the shadow */

}

Solution 3 - Html

Use a normal blue border, a medium border-radius, and a blue box-shadow with position 0 0.

Solution 4 - Html

SLaks hit the nail on the head but you might want to look over the changes for inputs in CSS3 in general. Rounded corners and box-shadow are both new features in CSS3 and will let you do exactly what you're looking for. One of my personal favorite links for CSS3/HTML5 is http://diveintohtml5.ep.io/ .

Solution 5 - Html

Modified version with little less glowing version.

input {
    /* round the corners */
    //background-color: transparent;
    border: 1px solid;
    height: 20px;
    width: 160px;
    color: #CCC;
    border-radius: 4px;
    -moz-border-radius: 4px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 4px;    
}

input:focus { 
    outline:none;
    border: 1px solid #4195fc; 
    /* create a BIG glow */
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #4195fc; 
    -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #4195fc;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #4195fc;  
}

Solution 6 - Html

I combined two of the previous answers (jsfiddle).

input {
    /* round the corners */
    border-radius: 4px;
    -moz-border-radius: 4px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 4px;    
}

input:focus { 
    outline:none;
    border: 1px solid #4195fc; 
    /* create a BIG glow */
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 14px #4195fc; 
    -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 14px #4195fc;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 14px #4195fc;  
}​

Solution 7 - Html

input[type="text"]{
   @include transition(all 0.30s ease-in-out);
  outline: none;
  padding: 3px 0px 3px 3px;
  margin: 5px 1px 3px 0px;
  border: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
}
input[type="text"]:focus{
  @include box-shadow(0 0 5px rgba(81, 203, 238, 1));
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #007eff;  
  -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #007eff;  
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #007eff;
}

Solution 8 - Html

Below is the code that Bootstrap uses. Colors are bit different but the concept is same. This is if you are using LESS to compile CSS:

// Form control focus state
//
// Generate a customized focus state and for any input with the specified color,
// which defaults to the `@input-focus-border` variable.
//
// We highly encourage you to not customize the default value, but instead use
// this to tweak colors on an as-needed basis. This aesthetic change is based on
// WebKit's default styles, but applicable to a wider range of browsers. Its
// usability and accessibility should be taken into account with any change.
//
// Example usage: change the default blue border and shadow to white for better
// contrast against a dark gray background.

.form-control-focus(@color: @input-border-focus) {
  @color-rgba: rgba(red(@color), green(@color), blue(@color), .6);
  &:focus {
    border-color: @color;
    outline: 0;
    .box-shadow(~"inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.075), 0 0 8px @{color-rgba}");
  }
}

If you are not using LESS then here's the compiled version:

.form-control:focus {
    border-color: #66afe9;
    outline: 0;
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.075), 0 0 8px rgba(102, 175, 233, 0.6);
    box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.075), 0 0 8px rgba(102, 175, 233, 0.6);
}

Solution 9 - Html

This will create glowing input fields and textareas:

textarea,textarea:focus,input,input:focus{
    transition: border-color 0.15s ease-in-out 0s, box-shadow 0.15s ease-in-out 0s;
    border: 1px solid #c4c4c4;
    border-radius: 4px;
    -moz-border-radius: 4px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 4px;
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #d9d9d9;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #d9d9d9;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #d9d9d9;
}

input:focus,textarea:focus { 
    outline: none;
    border: 1px solid #7bc1f7;
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #7bc1f7;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #7bc1f7;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #7bc1f7;
}
