Remove or disable focus border of browser via javascript

JavascriptHtmlCssTabindex

Javascript Problem Overview


Does anybody know how to disable or manipulate the (in most browsers) dashed border of a dom-element if it has the focus in a tabindex order?

I want to build my own style for a focused element, but it would be great to use the existing feature, because with tabindex it is possible to bind keydown event to the dom-element.

Solution 1 - Javascript

Just make a CSS rule for the elements you want that have outline:none;

Solution 2 - Javascript

CSS trick:

:focus { outline: none; }

Solution 3 - Javascript

With Firefox 53.0, if I disable the outline with one of the proposed solution, Firefox displays the default one.

However, if I use a blank color, it doesn't detect that the outline is hidden:

input:focus{
   outline: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,1);
}

Solution 4 - Javascript

input::-moz-focus-inner { border: 0; }

Solution 5 - Javascript

Classic way is set outline to none:

outline: none;

However, it didn't work anymore on higher version browser or FireFox. This trick work for me:

outline: 0px solid transparent;

LOL. In future, if it detected transparent, then just replace with a little tiny higher transparent:

outline: 0px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.001);

Some browsers, it was a boxshadow too:

outline:none !important;
outline-width: 0 !important;
box-shadow: none;
-moz-box-shadow: none;
-webkit-box-shadow: none;

Solution 6 - Javascript

a {
outline: 0;
}

a: hover,
a: active,
a: focus {
     outline: none;
}

input::-moz-focus-inner {
border: 0;
}

Solution 7 - Javascript

:focus state - Set the outline property to 0px solid transparent;

Solution 8 - Javascript

$(function() {
     $('a').click(function() { $(this).blur(); });
     $('input').click(function() { $(this).blur(); });
});

Don't use CSS disable focus: http://outlinenone.com/ This use other users.

Solution 9 - Javascript

Using jQuery you can do

$("#nav li a").focus(function(){
  $(this).blur();
});
