This is the css style

.textbox1 { font-family:verdana; font-size: large; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline overline; background-color:yellow;}

and below is the text\_field to which textbox1 class is to be applied.  
\<%=org\_form.text\_field(“org\_name”,:size=\>"124)%\>

\<%=org\_form.text\_field(“org\_name”,:size=\>"124, :class =\> 'textbox1 ')  
%\>

You can use css to set the width too.
