I'm still newbie in html. How can I achieve this with style:
rounded border 1px color grey
icon on the left with peach background
input text on the right

Answer 1

The only way to achieve that as Crossbrowser solution is to use background-image with background-position and background-size
input[type=text]{
background-image: url(http://i.imgur.com/EitD5gR.png);
background-size: 16px 16px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
border-radius: 6px;/*rounded border */
border: 1px solid grey;
padding-left: 16px
}
<input type=text />
in a near future you will be able to do that using :pseudo-element

Answer 2

Its better If you can provide some code but since you are a beginner hope this code helps you
<div id = 'outer'>
<div id = 'inner'>
img
</div>
</div>
CSS
#outer{
width:200px;
height:50px;
border: 2px solid gray;
position:absolute;
border-radius:10px;
}
#inner{
position:relative;
width: 20%;
height:100%;
background-color: yellow;
border-radius:2px;
z-index:-30;
}

Here's the basic idea:
The rounded border you'll get with the CSS property border-radius. You'll need to look this up, because not all browsers respect plain ol' border-radius - you'll end up with several css rules (e.g. border-radius:...; -webkit-border-radius:...). The border color you'll get with the css property border-color. http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_border.asp (and the links in the left sidebar) is a good resource to learn about styling borders
The image inside the input is going to be kinda complicated for a newbie. There are a couple ways you could do this… I recommend using a :before "pseudoelement." You'll set the <input> (or whatever the main element you're styling here is) to let elements inside it position themselves relative to it, and then you'll set the pseudoelement to be absolutely positioned all the way on the left. The pseudoelement then gets a specific size, and you put an image into it.
Without doing too much of the work for you, the CSS will be something like
input {
border-radius: ...;
border-color: ...;
position: relative; <-- lets us position child elements relative to this one
}
input:before {
content: url(path/to/the/image);
position: absolute;
left: 0;
width: 30px; <-- I'm just guestimating that number
height: 100%; <--- depending on the rest of your css, this might need to be set in pixels
}
Other problems you might run into:
You might lose the rounded corners on the left. If so, you can round only those corners on the input:before (a tool like http://border-radius.com/ will help you round only certain corners)
If you're using an <input>, it might look wrong in some browsers. That's because browsers supply default styles for inputs. This gets into fancier stuff, so I'll give you the solution up front and you can study up to figure out what it does
input {
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
border: 0;
border-repeat: repeat;
}
