Using Jquery (html5) input with asp.net textbox

Using Jquery (html5) input with asp.net textbox

Hi, I have create an apsx page using jquery and it works great except I would like to use the <input search> tag instead of the asp:textbox. The <input> looks better than the plain textbox...however I can code behind the textbox on the textchanged property which uses the value typed in the box to update an asp:gridview by using a webservice to retrive the data from SQL server and bind it to the gridview...so my questions are how do I...
 
1.) change the appearance of the aps:textbox to match that <input search> with the magnifying glass, and "X" when you start typing
 
or
 
2.) how do I call the textchanged function using <input search> instead of using asp:textbox?
 
or
 
3.) someother solution using javascript, ajax...?
 
Thank you.
