On my website, when I click on a link that has a href or onclick reference, it gets a blue highlight that ends my design. How to remove? See an example in the menu icon that has an 'onclick' reference, I managed to take a print right from the time I click on it on my phone.
How can I remove this?
The icon is blue that I did not program, all links on the site look like this
If a media screen solution suit you. That can work:
#media screen and (max-width:500px) {
.selector:active, .selector:hover {
background-color: unset;
color: #999;
}
}
Given that we're working with an "a" element you can easily get rid of the blue highlighting with basic css:
a:hover, a:focus, a:active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #3c4146 /* Just a mild gray, you can change this to whatever you want */
}
In the case of a different element, which in your case looks like a btn/div with a set background, you can adapt the css to it.
You can set the bg back to its original color when you either hover, focus or set the element to active.
.element:focus, .element:active, .element:hover {
background-color: #000000; /* Use the original element background-color here */
}
a {
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent !important;
outline: none !important;
}
I was testing my new pet project on my phone and I also had an issue with BLUE outline/highlight flashing effect upon TAP.
For me #RedhaBenKortbi answer worked.
After applying this CSS to tags, the links were no longer flashing with the blue-ish outline/highlight when you click.
.scaledImage a {
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent !important;
}
Doc says:
-webkit-tap-highlight-color is a non-standard CSS property that sets the color of the highlight that appears over a link while it's being
tapped. The highlighting indicates to the user that their tap is being
successfully recognized, and indicates which element they're tapping
on.

I've been implementing Bootstrap 3 onto my website, and I am currently experiencing this issue after having selecting the Contact button and closing the pop-up window that comes up:
I do not want Contact to be lit up or highlighted in any manner after closing the popup. What do I need to edit in my CSS file to make this work?
Thanks.
EDIT: Here is my code showing my nav-bar with all of my options. I believe I'm supposed to select something in here in order to edit the CSS of the Contact area.
In CSS, the focus pseudo class is used for styling an element that is currently targeted by the keyboard, or activated by the mouse.
By clicking on the button, Bootstrap adds styles to your button via btn:focus, btn-primary:focus, et cetera. One of the styles Bootstrap adds is a border around the button. In order to override this style, you can create a selector that hides the border of your button. For example, you could do something like this.
.btn:focus {
border: none;
}
If this doesn't work, try
.btn:focus {
border: none !important;
}
This will do it for you see example: https://jsfiddle.net/DIRTY_SMITH/LLvkptuk/
Add this to your CSS:
.btn:focus,
.btn:active {
outline: none !important;
}
Check this
input[type="button"]:focus,
input[type="submit"]:focus {
outline: none !important;
} /* for forms */
a:focus {
outline: none !important;
} /* for anchor */
This is specifically with the selectBoxIt jQuery plug-in, using the jQueryUI theme.
I have this set up for the hover action:
/* Individual Option Hover Action */
.selectboxit-option .selectboxit-option-anchor:hover {
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #ff0000;
text-decoration: none;
}
That works fine. When I hover my mouse over the options, I get a red background with white text.
However, when I do this...
.selectboxit-option:focus .selectboxit-option-anchor:focus {
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #ff0000;
text-decoration: none;
}
...nothing changes.
I see that all the demos on selectBoxIt's main web page DO have changing background colors with keyboard focus...so what am I missing?
Technically, each option doesn't use the focus event, which is why the focus pseudo selector is not working for you. For the jQueryUI theme, the "active" option adds the ui-state-focus class, so to change the "focus" CSS style, you could have a rule like this:
.selectboxit-option.ui-state-focus {
background: #CCC;
}
This click indicator is a disgusting piece for my recent web projects.. I hate this! - How can I say to my Firefox browser that he should not mark the clicked object?
Provided that your menu items are not input elements (say, buttons), you can hide it using CSS, like so:
element { outline: none; }
a {
outline: none;
}
Nothing helped (Firefox 20.1) until this:
a:focus, a:active,
button,
input[type="reset"]::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="submit"]::-moz-focus-inner,
select::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="file"] > input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner {
outline: none !important;
}
this is more accurate:
a { outline: none!important; }
To be more specific to #ioannis-karadimas, you could remove the outline on hover (assuming mouse input) but leave it for focus (assuming keyboard input). This would retain most of the accessibility. That being said:
element:hover { outline: none; }
element:focus { // leave the focus }
Based on this post, adding outline:0 will also do the trick.
.selector{ outline:0; }
If you don't want to have the border shown to any element in your website, try the following,
:focus { outline:none; }
::-moz-focus-inner { border:0; }
You might hate it, but your customers might not. Generally speaking overriding browser functionality is a great way to confuse users and inspire them not to visit your site.
Crazy solution:
input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner{
border: 1px dotted transparent;
}
but I dislike it.
Indeed Firefox 12.0 is marking a dotted on input type="button" when I click it. outline:none does nothing for :active, :focus, ...
I can make Firefox not display the ugly dotted focus outlines on links with this:
a:focus {
outline: none;
}
But how can I do this for <button> tags as well? When I do this:
button:focus {
outline: none;
}
the buttons still have the dotted focus outline when I click on them.
(and yes, I know this is a usability issue, but I would like to provide my own focus hints which are appropriate to the design instead of ugly grey dots)
button::-moz-focus-inner {
border: 0;
}
No need to define a selector.
:focus {outline:none;}
::-moz-focus-inner {border:0;}
However, this violates accessibility best practices from the W3C. The outline is there to help those navigating with keyboards.
https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/F78.html#F78-examples
If you prefer to use CSS to get rid of the dotted outline:
/*for FireFox*/
input[type="submit"]::-moz-focus-inner, input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner
{
border : 0;
}
/*for IE8 and below */
input[type="submit"]:focus, input[type="button"]:focus
{
outline : none;
}
The below worked for me in case of LINKS, thought of sharing - in case someone is interested.
a, a:visited, a:focus, a:active, a:hover{
outline:0 none !important;
}
Cheers!
:focus, :active {
outline: 0;
border: 0;
}
[Update] This solution doesn't work anymore. The solution that worked for me is this one https://stackoverflow.com/a/3844452/925560
The answer marked as correct didn't work with Firefox 24.0.
To remove Firefox's dotted outline on buttons and anchor tags I added the code below:
a:focus, a:active,
button::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="reset"]::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="submit"]::-moz-focus-inner,
select::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="file"] > input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner {
border: 0;
outline : 0;
}
I found the solution here: http://aghoshb.com/articles/css-how-to-remove-firefoxs-dotted-outline-on-buttons-and-anchor-tags.html
Tried most of the answers here, but none of them worked for me. When I realized that I have to get rid of the blue outline on buttons on Chrome too, I found another solution. Remove blue border from css custom-styled button in Chrome
This code worked for me on Firefox version 30 on Windows 7. Perhaps it might help somebody else out there :)
button:focus {outline:0 !important;}
This will get the range control:
:focus {
outline:none;
}
::-moz-focus-inner {
border:0;
}
input[type=range]::-moz-focus-outer {
border: 0;
}
From: Remove dotted outline from range input element in Firefox
There's no way to remove these dotted focus in Firefox using CSS.
If you have access to the computers where your webapplication works, go to about:config in Firefox and set browser.display.focus_ring_width to 0. Then Firefox won't show any dotted borders at all.
The following bug explains the topic: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74225
There is many solutions found on the web for this, many of which work, but to force this, so that absolutely nothing can highlight/focus once a use the following:
::-moz-focus-inner, :active, :focus {
outline:none;
border:0;
-moz-outline-style: none;
}
This just adds that little bit extra security & seals the deal!
Simply add this css for select box
select:-moz-focusring {
color: transparent;
text-shadow: 0 0 0 #000;
}
This is working fine for me.
Tested on Firefox 46 and Chrome 49 using this code.
input:focus, textarea:focus, button:focus {
outline: none !important;
}
Before (white dots are visible )
After ( White dots are invisible )
If you want to apply only on few input fields, buttons etc. Use the more specific code.
input[type=text] {
outline: none !important;
}
I think you should really know what you're doing by removing the focus outline, because it can mess it up for keyboard navigation and accessibility.
If you need to take it out because of a design issue, add a :focus state to the button that replaces this with some other visual cue, like, changing the border to a brighter color or something like that.
Sometimes I feel the need to take that annoying outline out, but I always prepare an alternate focus visual cue.
And never use the blur() js function. Use the ::-moz-focus-inner pseudo class.
In most cases without adding the !important to the CSS code, it won't work.
So, do not forget to add !important
a, a:active, a:focus{
outline: none !important; /* Works in Firefox, Chrome, IE8 and above */
}
Or any other code:
button::-moz-focus-inner {
border: 0 !important;
}
button::-moz-focus-inner { border: 0; }
Where button can be whatever CSS selector for which you want to disable the behavior.
You might want to intensify the focus rather than get rid of it.
button::-moz-focus-inner {border: 2px solid transparent;}
button:focus::-moz-focus-inner {border-color: blue}
Remove dotted outline from links, button and input element.
a:focus, a:active,
button::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="reset"]::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="submit"]::-moz-focus-inner {
border: 0;
outline : 0;
}
If you have a border on a button and want to hide the dotted outline in Firefox without removing the border (and hence it's extra width on the button) you can use:
.button::-moz-focus-inner {
border-color: transparent;
}
The CSS code below works to remove this:
a:focus, a:active,
button::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="reset"]::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="submit"]::-moz-focus-inner,
select::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="file"] > input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner {
border: 0;
outline : 0;
}
It looks like the only way to achieve this is by setting
browser.display.focus_ring_width = 0
in about:config on a per browser basis.
This works on firefox v-27.0
.buttonClassName:focus {
outline:none;
}
After trying many options from the above only the following worked for me.
*:focus, *:visited, *:active, *:hover { outline:0 !important;}
*::-moz-focus-inner {border:0;}
Along with Bootstrap 3 I used this code. The second set of rules just undo what bootstrap does for focus/active buttons:
button::-moz-focus-inner {
border: 0; /*removes dotted lines around buttons*/
}
.btn.active.focus, .btn.active:focus, .btn.focus, .btn.focus:active, .btn:active:focus, .btn:focus{
outline:0;
}
NOTE that your custom css file should come after Bootstrap css file in your html code to override it.
Yep don't miss !important
button::-moz-focus-inner {
border: 0 !important;
}
You can try button::-moz-focus-inner {border: 0px solid transparent;} in your CSS.
