I have used CSS to accomplish the reverse (make a label appear like a
textbox) but it should be easily done using CSS, something similar to
below perhaps:

/* Works for all textboxes */
input {
        border: none;
        background-color: <page background color>
}

/* Works for textboxes with a class of label
input.label {
        <same as above>
}

I tested this briefly on my development machine and it works like a
charm.
