How is it sacrificing accessibility?


Actually, if you provide borders for your input box as well as a background image, you can have an input (search) box that shows up whether the images are turned off or not. And if you design your background image in a way that
enhances rather than replaces the box, I don't think you'll have any
problems with people understanding the purpose of the box.

Sample code:

input.searchbox {
    padding-left:2px;
    border: 1px solid;
    border-color: #c0c0c0 #fff #fff #c0c0c0;
    background-color: #f5f5f5;
    width: 15em;
    background-image: url(icn_searchbox.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: left center;
}
