How to remove outline border from input button

When I click somewhere else the border disappears, I tried to use onfocus: none, but that didn't help. How to make this ugly button border disappear when I click on it?

input[type=button] {
  width: 120px;
  height: 60px;
  margin-left: 35px;
  display: block;
  background-color: gray;
  color: white;
  border: none;
}

<input type="button" value="Example Button">

Using outline: none; you can remove that border in chrome.

<style>
input[type=button] {
	width: 120px;
	height: 60px;
	margin-left: 35px;
	display: block;
	background-color: gray;
	color: white;
	border: none;
	outline: none;
}
</style>

Focus outline in Chrome and FF:

removed button focus outline:

input[type=button] {
  outline:none;
}
input[type=button]::-moz-focus-inner {
  border: 0;
}

/*
  Accessibility (A11Y)
  Don't forget! User accessibility is important
*/
input[type=button]:focus {
  /* your custom focused styles here */
} 

It works for me simply :)

*:focus {
    outline: 0 !important;
}

This one worked for me

button:focus {
    border: none;
    outline: none;
}

Set both the outline and the box-shadow properties of the button to none and make them important.

input[type=button] {
    outline: none !important;
    box-shadow: none !important;
} 

The reason for setting the values to important is that, if you are using other CSS libraries or frameworks like Bootstrap, it might get overridden.

The outline property is what you need. It's shorthand for setting each of the following properties in a single declaration:

• outline-style
• outline-width
• outline-color

You could use outline: none;, which is suggested in the accepted answer. You could also be more specific if you wanted:

button {
    outline-style: none;
}

button:focus{outline:none !important;}

add !important if it is used in Bootstrap

To avoid the problem caused when you change the outline property on a focus, is to give a visual effect when the user Tab on the input button or click on it.

In this case is a submit type, but you can apply to a type="button" too.

input[type=submit]:focus {
    outline: none !important;
    background-color: rgb(208, 192, 74);
}

Given the html below:

<button class="btn-without-border"> Submit </button>

In the css style do the following:

.btn-without-border:focus {
    border: none;
    outline: none;
}

This code will remove button border and will disable button border focus when the button is clicked.

As many others have mentioned, selector:focus {outline: none;} will remove that border but that border is a key accessibility feature that allows for keyboard users to find the button and shouldn't be removed.

Since your concern seems to be an aesthetic one, you should know that you can change the color, style, and width of the outline, making it fit into your site styling better.

selector:focus {
  outline-width: 1px;
  outline-style: dashed;
  outline-color: red;
}

Shorthand:

selector:focus {
  outline: 1px dashed red;
}

It's greatly simple than you think. When the button is focussed, apply the outline property, like this:

button:focus {
    outline: 0 !important;
}

But when I use none value, it doesn't work for me.

Removing nessorry accessible event not a good idea in up to standard web developments. either way if you looking for a solution removing just the outline doesn't solve the problem. you also have to remove the blue color shadow. for specific scenarios use a separate class name to isolate the this special style to your button.

.btn.focus, .btn:focus {
    outline: 0;
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 0.2rem rgba(0, 123, 255, .25);
}

Better do this

.remove-border.focus, .remove-border:focus {
        outline: 0;
        box-shadow: 0 0 0 0.2rem rgba(0, 123, 255, .25);
 }

Removing the outline is an accessibility nightmare. People tabbing using keyboards will never know what item they're on.

Best to leave it, as most clicked buttons will take you somewhere anyway, or if you HAVE to remove the outline then isolate it a specific class name.

.no-outline {
  outline: none;
}

Then you can apply that class whenever you need to.

Another alternative to restore outline when using the keyboard is to use :focus-visible. However, this doesn't work on IE :https://caniuse.com/?search=focus-visible.

It's also good note that outline: none can be applied to both <button> tags and input[type=button] to remove the browser-applied border on click.

Since Chrome and Mozilla added this line not only around buttons but also around linked text, I use on my site this:

a:focus {outline: none;
}

Works for both browsers, links, and buttons.

Btw, this did not (27.4.2021):

input[type=button]{
   outline:none;
}
input[type=button]::-moz-focus-inner {
   border: 0;
}
