How do I change an textinputs sprite?

i cant seem to change the sprite on a text input, is there a way to do it? or is there not

Text inputs are not sprites. Your question is a little unclear.

You can style or change the font of a text input with css, or you can create your own text input with the text object or spritefont object. You can also compare text in a text input box to create a sprite object.
