Don't know how I missed that when analyzing the html of youtube. I thought it was somekind of js-solution, but apparently they use this technique too. Very simple. Thanks!

Another way to achieve this is just to make a div appear like a text field.

<div style="border: inset 2px #ccc;background:#fff;padding:2px;">
