I have read many posts and tried quite many things but I don't seem to get an embed form to work the way I need it to work.
Problem with input on focus:
1. Blue outline > I tried the code below I seemed to work and then suddenly it stopped working.
input:-webkit-autofill:focus {
outline: none !important;
}
2. Yellow background > I got it fixed with the code below.
input:-webkit-autofill,
input:-webkit-autofill:hover,
input:-webkit-autofill:focus,
input:-webkit-autofill:active {
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0px 1000px #ffefef inset !important;
}
I would like the form to always look like this (normal, hover, focus, active
But that's sadly not the case because of "user agent stylesheet".
You can see the form in live here →
Also note, I am not a programmer. I know WordPress well enough but any tricky answers might get me confused. I would like to solve this problem either using .css or adding some JavaScript code in the header/footer element.
And I also tried Normalize.css which, I guess, I could just add to my theme folder with the same name... forgive my dummyness. If so, that didn't help. Well, I don't know if I was supposed to add a new line there or not.
Any help would be highly appreciated (praying hands).
#drip-first-name:focus, #drip-email:focus {
outline: 0;
border-bottom: 3px solid black !important;
}
make sure you prefix it for different browsers(Not sure if needed) and of course do the same for active etc (wherever you get that blue outline) . This will work for chrome.
However, a few notes. since you're messing with css you need to start using Chrome Devtools. It's free and built into chrome. This will show you what's wrong and how to fix it.
Secondly, using !important in css is not a major no no but the reason your border-bottom rule wasn't working was because you had already used !important in a previous class and it was picking it up. Important won't let you override anything unless it's lower in the CSS stylesheet and is also marked as important. Long story short at some point you will have to redo the whole thing if you keep using important.
this is how it would look to you with devtools open:
This is the link for you to get started with devtools:

apply outline:0 to the input normal style not :hover or focus, then remove
border-width: inherit !important; from the :focus of the input, because then it takes it's parent border width, and that is 0px therefore your border disappears on focus.
Well if you'd like you can remove all the default userAgent-styling by using the all: unset; ? That works for me.
But if you just want to remove the outline you shall do
input { outline: none; }. Hope that helps.
Edit: the all: unset is there for remove all user Agent Stylesheet. Nothing else.
On a website I'm making I've styled the input controls to make them look a little more pleasant - including use of:
border-radius: 15px 15px;
to make the controls have more rounded corners.
This works great, but the problem is that when the user selects the control in question, a selection style seems to appear around the outside of it to show its the active control. This selection style/border doesn't seem to follow the border-radius set up for the control in general. I'm guessing this is kind of like a link:hover situation, but I'm not sure what to do about it.
How do I handle the style of a control when it's selected specifically?
textarea:focus, input:focus{
outline: none;
}
Indeed there is, it's the :focus pseudo selector: http://jsfiddle.net/ahmednuaman/SMfQg/
I'm used to use padding + background-image to place an icon next to a link.
There are many example of this approach. Here is one from here:
<a class="external" href="http://www.othersite.com/">link</a>
a.external {
padding-right: 15px;
background: transparent url(images/external-link-icon.gif) no-repeat top right;
}
But most browser don't print background image, which is annoying.
What is the standard to place icon next to links which is semantically correct and works in all cases?
EDIT
What about CSS :before and :after? Is it a recommended practice?
a.test:after {
padding-right: 5px;
content: url(../pix/logo_ppk.gif);
}
I'd personally pad it and put a background image via a CSS class (just like your example). It's by far the lightest route, it keeps the document light and semantic.
If printing them really matters (and I do mean really matters) stick a real image in there but be aware that it does screw up markup from a semantic aspect.
Perhaps a better compromise solution would be to have a "printable version" which uses images instead (either by something server-size or some JS that replaces the CSS class with an actual image.
Although as OLi saying keep icon in css is best method and there is no way to print css backgrounds. (until you turned on css background printing from browser settings).
but if you can use javascript then this method will work for you

you can add inline image to link.
How can I modify the width of that fricken button? I have a retweet button that is the width that I like, but I cant seem to find any documentation on how to reduce the width in css for the facebook share button.
If you look at the posts buttons you will see it on the site. www.itjourneyman.com you will see the facebook button is just a little wider then the retweet button making things look funny.
Does anyone know where I can find the css for that button without having to mod the actual plugins code.
Thanks in advance.
Try changing this css. You could tweak the right button padding to make it a little smaller. I used 4px in firefox and it looks good. I hope this helps. If you don't want to mess with the plugin code you would probably have to overwrite this CSS somewhere in your own CSS file. It's probably easier just to update the plugin CSS.
FBConnectButton_Small .FBConnectButton_Text {
margin-left:17px;
padding:2px 4px 3px;
}
You want to change the width attribute:
Add this:
style="width:100"
To your tag with the background image of the Facebook button in it. Change the width to whatever you need it to be.
This was the answer I did not add in the important.
.FBConnectButton_Text
{
font-size: 8px;
padding:2px 4px 3px !important;
}
When we use Text Replacement using CSS and give a negative test-indent i.e. text-indent:-9999px. Then when we click on that link the Dotted line appears like in the sample image below. What's the solution for this?
For Remove outline for anchor tag
a {outline : none;}
Remove outline from image link
a img {outline : none;}
Remove border from image link
img {border : 0;}
You can use the CSS property "outline" and value of "none" on the anchor element.
a {
outline: none;
}
Hope that helps.
For Internet Explorer 9:
a:active, a:focus {
outline: none;
ie-dummy: expression(this.hideFocus=true);
}

Please note that the focus styles are there for a reason: if you decide to remove them, people who navigate via the keyboard only don't know what's in focus anymore, so you're hurting the accessibility of your website.
(Keeping them in place also helps power users that don't like to use their mouse)
There is the same border effect in Firefox and Internet Explorer (IE), it becomes visible when you click on some link.
This code will fix just IE:
a:active { outline: none; }.
And this one will fix both Firefox and IE:
:active, :focus { outline: none; -moz-outline-style: none; }
Last code should be added into your stylesheet, if you would like to remove the link borders from your site.
include this code in your style sheet
img {border : 0;}
a img {outline : none;}
I hope this is useful to some of you, it can be used to remove outline from links, images and flash and from MSIE 9:
a, a:hover, a:active, a:focus, a img, object, embed {
outline: none;
ie-dummy: expression(this.hideFocus=true); /* MSIE - Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 remove outline */
}
The code below is able to hide image border:
img {
border: 0;
}
If you would like to support Firefox 3.6.8 but not Firefox 4... Clicking down on an input type=image can produce a dotted outline as well, to remove it in the old versions of firefox the following will do the trick:
input::-moz-focus-inner {
border: 0;
}
IE 9 doesn't allow in some cases to remove the dotted outline around links unless you include this meta tag between and in your pages:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />
This is the latest one that works on Google Chrome
:link:focus, :visited:focus {outline: none;}
in order to Removing The Dotted Outline href link you can write in your css file:
a {
outline: 0;
}
If the solution above doesn't work for anyone. Give this a try as well
a {
box-shadow: none;
}
-moz-user-focus: ignore; in Gecko-based browsers (you may need !important, depending on how it's applied)
Use Like This for HTML 4.01
<img src="image.gif" border="0">
You can put overflow:hidden onto the property with the text indent, and that dotted line, that spans out of the page, will dissapear.
I've seen a couple of posts about removing outlines all together. Be careful when doing this as you could lower the accessibility of the site.
a:active { outline: none; }
I personally would use this attribute only, as if the :hover attribute has the same css properties it will prevent the outlines showing for people who are using the keyboard for navigation.
Hope this solves your problem.
I'm unsure if this is still an issue for this individual, but I know it can be a pain for many people in general. Granted, the above solutions will work in some instances, but if you are, for example, using a CMS like WordPress, and the outlines are being generated by either a plugin or theme, you will most likely not have this issue resolved, depending on how you are adding the CSS.
I'd suggest having a separate StyleSheet (for example, use 'Lazyest StyleSheet' plugin), and enter the following CSS within it to override the existing plugin (or theme)-forced style:
a:hover,a:active,a:link {
outline: 0 !important;
text-decoration: none !important;
}
Adding '!important' to the specific rule will make this a priority to generate even if the rule may be elsewhere (whether it's in a plugin, theme, etc.).
This helps save time when developing. Sure, you can dig for the original source, but when you're working on many projects, or need to perform updates (where your changes can be overridden [not suggested!]), or add new plugins or themes, this is the best recourse to save time.
Hope this helps...Peace!
I would bet most users aren't the type of user that use the keyboard as a navigation control. Is it then acceptable to annoy the majority of your users for a small group that prefers to use keyboard navigation? Short answer — depends on who your users are.
Also, I don't see this experience in the same way in Firefox and Safari. So this argument seems to be mostly for IE. It all really depends on your user base and their level of knowledge — how they use the site.
If you really want to know where you are and you are a keyboard user, you can always look at the status bar as you key through the site.
This works perfectly for me
a img {border:none;}
Any image that has a link will have a border around the image to help indicate it is a link with older browsers. Adding border="0" to your IMG HTML tag will prevent that picture from having a border around the image.
However, adding border="0" to every image would not only be time consuming it will also increase the file size and download time. If you don't want any of your images to have a border, create a CSS rule or CSS file that has the below code in it.
img { border-style: none; }
Yes we can use. CSS reset as a {outline:none} and also
a:focus, a:active {outline:none}
for the Best Practice in Resetting CSS, The Best Solution is using common :focus{outline:none} If you still have Best Option please Share
