I'm working on a web page, and I want custom-styled <button>
tags. So with CSS, I said: border: none
. Now it works perfectly in safari, but in chrome, when I click one of the buttons, it puts an annoying blue border around it. I thought button:active { outline: none }
or button:focus { outline:none }
would work, but neither do. Any ideas?
This is what it looks like before being clicked (and how I want it to still look after being clicked):
And this is the border I'm talking about:
Here is my CSS:
button.launch {
background-color: #F9A300;
border: none;
height: 40px;
padding: 5px 15px;
color: #ffffff;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: 300;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
button.launch:hover {
cursor: pointer;
background-color: #FABD44;
}
button.change {
background-color: #F88F00;
border: none;
height: 40px;
padding: 5px 15px;
color: #ffffff;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: 300;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
button.change:hover {
cursor: pointer;
background-color: #F89900;
}
button:active {
outline: none;
border: none;
}
Doing this is not recommended as it regresses the accessibility of your site; for more info, see this post.
That said, if you insist, this CSS should work:
button:focus {outline:0;}

<button class="change">Change</button>
