How to reset / remove chrome's input highlighting / focus border?

I have seen that chrome puts a thicker border on :focus but it kind of looks off in my case where I've used border-radius also. Is there anyway to remove that?

You should be able to remove it using

outline: none;

but keep in mind this is potentially bad for usability: It will be hard to tell whether an element is focused, which can suck when you walk through all a form's elements using the Tab key - you should reflect somehow when an element is focused.

I had to do all of the following to completely remove it:

outline-style: none;
box-shadow: none;
border-color: transparent;

Example:

button {
  border-radius: 20px;
  padding: 20px;
}

.no-focusborder:focus {
  outline-style: none;
  box-shadow: none;
  border-color: transparent;
  background-color: black;
  color: white;
}

<p>Click in the white space, then press the "Tab" key.</p>
<button>Button 1 (unchanged)</button>
<button class="no-focusborder">Button 2 (no focus border, custom focus indicator to show focus is present but the unwanted highlight is gone)</button>
<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>

To remove the default focus, use the following in your default .css file :

:focus {outline:none;}

You can then control the focus border color either individually by element, or in the default .css:

:focus {outline:none;border:1px solid red}

Obviously replace red with your chosen hex code.

You could also leave the border untouched and control the background color (or image) to highlight the field:

:focus {outline:none;background-color:red}

:-)

This will definitely work. Orange outline won't show up anymore.. Common for all tags:

*:focus {
    outline: none;
   }

Specific to some tag, ex: input tag

input:focus{
   outline:none;
  }

border:0;
outline:none;
box-shadow:none;

This should do the trick.

The simpliest way is to use something like this but note that it may not be that good.

input {
  outline: none;
}

I hope you find this useful.

you could just set outline: none; and border to a different color on focus.

Problem is when you already have an outline. Chrome still changes something and it's a real pain. I cannot find what to change :

.search input {
  outline: .5em solid black;
  width:41%;
  background-color:white;
  border:none;
  font-size:1.4em;
  padding: 0 0.5em 0 0.5em;
  border-radius:3px;
  margin:0;
  height:2em;
}

.search input:focus, .search input:hover {
  outline: .5em solid black !important;
  box-shadow:none;
  border-color:transparent;;
 }

.search button {
  border:none;
  outline: .5em solid black;
  color:white;
  font-size:1.4em;
  padding: 0 0.9em 0 0.9em;
  border-radius: 3px;
  margin:0;
  height:2em;
  background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#4EB4F8), to(#4198DE));
  background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#4EB4F8, #4198DE);
  background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #4EB4F8, #4198DE);
  background: -ms-linear-gradient(#4EB4F8, #4198DE);
  background: -o-linear-gradient(#4EB4F8, #4198DE);
  background: linear-gradient(#4EB4F8, #4198DE);
  filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#4EB4F8', endColorstr='#4198DE');
  zoom: 1;
}
