How to outline only the border-radius when input is selected? - html

Question

.sear {
height: 50px;
width: 400px;
border: 0.5px solid black;
border-radius: 15px 0px 0px 15px;
}
.sear:focus {
//how to make only the border radius and other part of box selected?
}
.bar {
display: inline;
height: 50px;
width: 60px;
border: 0.5px solid black;
background-color: #ECECEC;
border-radius: 0px 15px 15px 0px;
}
.bar:hover {
cursor: pointer;
}
<input type="text" style="display: inline; margin-left: 20%;" class="sear" placeholder="Search...">
<button class="bar">🔎</button>
I was just wondering if it is possible to select only the border-radius and the rest of the box when the mouse is focused on the input as opposed to the corner of the box.

Answer 1

If you want to remove the default outline (which is not recommended for accessibility reasons) and add your own you can do this by changing the border color on focus but I would recommend wrapping the elements with a div and using javascript to add and remove a class to make this styling change like this:
var btnGroup = document.querySelector('.btn-group');
var input = document.querySelector('.sear');
input.onfocus = function() {
btnGroup.classList.add('focus');
}
input.onblur = function() {
btnGroup.classList.remove('focus');
}
.btn-group {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 15px;
background-color: white;
width: 400px;
}
.btn-group.focus {
border-color: rebeccapurple;
}
.sear {
flex: 1;
border: none;
padding: .5rem;
margin: 0 0 0 0.5rem;
line-height: 1rem;
font-size: 1rem;
outline: none;
}
.bar {
padding: .5rem 1.5rem;
width: 60px;
background-color: #ECECEC;
border-radius: 0px 15px 15px 0px;
outline: none;
border-left: 1px solid #999;
}
.bar:hover {
cursor: pointer;
}
<div class="btn-group">
<input type="text" class="sear" placeholder="Search...">
<button class="bar">🔎</button>
</div>

Answer 2

for example:
.sear:focus {
/* to change the border when selected. */
border: 2px solid #0000ff;
}

Answer 3

If you are looking to have outline radius, its not posisble as mentioned in the comments, as a work around you can have something like this:
.sear {
height: 50px;
width: 400px;
border: 0.5px solid black;
border-radius: 15px 0px 0px 15px;
}
.sear:focus {
outline: none;
border-color: #9ecaed;
box-shadow: 0 0 2px #9ecaed;
}
.bar {
display: inline;
height: 50px;
width: 60px;
border: 0.5px solid black;
background-color: #ECECEC;
border-radius: 0px 15px 15px 0px;
}
.bar:hover {
cursor: pointer;
}
<input type="text" style="display: inline; margin-left: 20%;" class="sear" placeholder="Search...">
<button class="bar">🔎</button>

Just trying to understand what you want.
May be something like this ?
.sear {
height: 50px;
width: 400px;
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 15px 0px 0px 15px;
margin-left: 20px;
}
.sear:focus {
border-top: solid 3px blue;
border-left: solid 3px blue;
border-bottom: solid 3px blue;
margin-top: -2px;
}
.sear:focus + .bar {
border-top: solid 3px blue;
border-right: solid 3px blue;
border-bottom: solid 3px blue;
}
.bar {
display: inline-block;
height: 54px;
width: 60px;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #ECECEC;
border-radius: 0px 15px 15px 0px;
}
.bar:hover {
cursor: pointer;
}
<input type="text" class="sear" placeholder="Search..."/>
<button class="bar">🔎</button>
