In Webflow, it is not possible to place the submit button inside the text field directly. However, you can achieve a similar visual effect by using some CSS tricks. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Create a new form element in Webflow by dragging and dropping the Form Block onto your page.

  2. Inside the Form Block, add a Text Field element by dragging and dropping the Text Field input from the Elements panel.

  3. Style the Text Field element as per your design requirements. You can adjust the width, height, border, and other properties to fit your needs.

  4. Next, add a Button element by dragging and dropping the Button element from the Elements panel.

  5. Position the Button element where you want it to appear relative to the Text Field element. For example, you can place it to the right or below the Text Field.

  6. Style the Button element to match your design preferences. You can adjust the background color, font, padding, and other properties to make it look like it's inside the Text Field.

  7. To make it appear as if the Button is inside the Text Field, you can use CSS positioning and z-index. Set the position of the Button element to absolute and adjust the top, right, bottom, or left properties to position it correctly. Additionally, give the Button element a higher z-index value compared to the Text Field to ensure it appears on top.

  8. Lastly, make sure to add the appropriate interactions to the submit button so that it performs the desired action when clicked.

While it's not technically placing the submit button inside the text field itself, this technique can give the illusion of having the submit button inside the text field.

Keep in mind that this approach may not be accessible or recommended for every use case, so it's important to consider the implications and potential issues before implementing it.
