How to hide the border and background from select options?
I have tried border: none; and outline: none;
Doesn't work.

And this same question: How to remove border of drop down list : CSS
Doesn't work for me
From the flagged duplicate answer
I tried tinkering with my select options and upon inspection it looks like a browser concern. Browsers have a default css stylesheet, like user agent stylesheet seen in the image. You can't make changes in the console to these styles. I do believe it is possible to override these stylesheets though depending on your browser. Here is a post about overriding user agent stylesheets. Hope this helps!
How can I remove the small square arround the radio button that gets displayed when the input gets focused?
I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate, but I don't know what the square is actually called and couldn't find what I'm looking for.
I tried autocomplete="off" on the input. I played arround with jQuery's preventDefault but without success.
Update:
Thanks for your responses. If anyone comes accross this question, here is the effect of appearance attached (upper pic without appearance, the one below is with appearance) with Firefox:
Just in case someone comes to the same problem.
Update with Chrome / Safari, appearance removes the input
-webkit-appearance: none; would make the radio buttons disappear in
Chrome and Safari. check jsfiddle.net/8uY6H (with Chrome)

Try this CSS since it is an outline:
input[type="radio"]:focus {
outline:none;
}
Try outline:0 property for the radio button on focus
input[type="radio"]:focus{
outline:0;
}
You need to set:
outline:none;
On the :focus state of the CSS class relating to the checkbox, or directly e.g.
input[type="radio"]:focus{
outline:none;
}
The crucial part is setting outline
The CSS outline property is a shorthand property for setting one or
more of the individual outline properties outline-style, outline-width
and outline-color in a single rule. In most cases the use of this
shortcut is preferable and more convenient.
However, also setting appearance may help cross platform where different browsers render checkbox elements differently.
As noted in the comments below though, this will cause the checkbox to not display in some circumstances- so you would need to produce a pure CSS solution.
The -moz-appearance CSS property is used in Gecko (Firefox) to display
an element using a platform-native styling based on the operating
system's theme.
This property is frequently used in XUL stylesheets to design custom
widgets with platform-appropriate styling. It is also used in the XBL
implementations of the widgets that ship with the Mozilla platform.
As simple as
input[type="radio"] {
outline: 0 none;
}
JSFIDDLE
There's possibly no straightforward solution for this, but any suggestions for a workaround or pointers to some documentation of this issue/ behavior is welcome.
Scenario:
If I apply a custom on-focus CSS style, such as:
:focus {outline: 2px auto green; }
Issue:
Parts of the outline still show on the previously active links even after focus moves away.
In the screenshot, the last link with the green outline is the currently active element. The rest of the links with small green lines around were active only previously.
These remaining bits of the outline go away after a few seconds on their own or when you drag the mouse over them (or disturb that area of the page in some other way).
Context:
I am working on a chrome extension for accessibility, and I need to set an explicit style to the active element. The reason I am hoping to use outline-style:auto is that 1) applying any other style except auto (like "solid", "dotted" etc) give another issue and 2) also, it looks better.
I am aware that outline-style:auto is not supported by other browsers.
Using Chrome 27.
You might check to see if an outline-offset is being set.
I had a similar problem, I was using Bootstrap and it was setting:
a:focus {outline-offset: -2px;}
Doesn't sound like you're using Bootstrap, but maybe something similar is happening for you. I changed it back to the default:
a:focus {outline-offset: 0px;}
that seemed to work for me. Hope this helps!
(Warning, outline-offset is not supported in IE: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_outline-offset.asp)
I had the same issue. In my case, I set an outline and a box shadow. Both seemed to stick to the element.
When I added the outline, I also set the box position to "relative" to make it stand out. For some reason that I can't explain, giving the box a z-index of 1 (bringing it forward) when I set the position to relative completely fixed this issue for me.
In the following example, a mouse hover over each link changes the image:
http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~dm257/sprite.html
The trick is the following line of code:
#home a:hover {
background: transparent url('sprite.png') 0px -37px no-repeat;
}
The a:hover selector sets the background to a green part of of sprite.png.
Can I do the same thing with a:visited? Make the icon turn green after the user has clicked it?
I changed a:hover to a:visited and nothing happens.
Styling of :visited is currently limited to prevent security risk related to exposing user's browsing history:
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/CSS/%3Avisited:
Starting in Firefox 4, major limitations to the styles you can apply
using this selector have been introduced. For more information on the
limitations and the motivation for them, see Privacy and the :visited
selector.
The same limitations have been adopted by other browsers, including
Safari 5/4.1 and Chrome 6.
you can accomplish with the help of this plugin - Visited links plugin
Download JS: jQuery.visited.js
See below lins which is related:
set a:visited style with javascript or jquery
Setting CSS pseudo-class rules from JavaScript
You absolutely can. Of course, the :visited state will only be visible upon the next load of the page. Browsers are able to determine whether or not a page has been previously accessed via header information.

Does anybody know how to remove the dotted outline on buttons in Opera?
I have done it.
Here you go: http://jsbin.com/oniva4. [tested on Opera 10.5/11]
The secret is using outline-offset:-2px; (effectively covering the dots) and the background's color for the outline. outline-offset is supported since version 9.5.
The introduction of the article Do not lose your focus
For many web designers, accessibility conjures up images of blind users with screenreaders, and the difficulties in making sites accessible to this particular audience. Of course, accessibility covers a wide range of situations that go beyond the extreme example of screenreader users. And while it’s true that making a complex site accessible can often be a daunting prospect, there are also many small things that don’t take anything more than a bit of judicious planning, are very easy to test (without having to buy expensive assistive technology), and can make all the difference to certain user groups.
In this short article we’ll focus on keyboard accessibility and how careless use of CSS can potentially make your sites completely unusable.
And the list of test given by the article on outline management.
Update 2011-02-08
I can confirm that it is not possible for now. There is an open bug for it.
I say this with the clear proviso that you shouldn't remove the outline unless you replace it with something else that indicates focus state ...
If you apply a transform to the element, it kills the outline in opera; it doesn't even need to do a visible transform, merely applying the property is enough. So this will do the job:
#myButton:focus
{
-o-transform:rotate(0);
}
But I can't promise that wouldn't be considered a rendering bug, and consequently something that may change in the future.
I believe the problem lies in where you specify the outline properties. Try this:
*:focus, *:active {
outline: none; (or possibly outline: 0)
}
I researched this more and it looks like on input fields and buttons it will not work unless you edit the browser's config, like Firefox's about:config page. It seems to be done for accessibility reasons so that a keyboard can be used to fill out and send a form without using a mouse.
I used that trick above for my text area and worked fine! Using a Text Area with an id "itens", here it goes!
#itens:focus, #itens:active{
outline: 1px solid white;
outline-offset: -2px;
}
So, you can play with that:
#itens:focus, #itens:active{
outline: 1px solid lime;
outline-offset: -2px;
}
Are you looking for:
button{
outline:none;
}
or if your button is an input...
input[type=button]{
outline:none;
}
Just read this forum post on the opera website
http://my-beta.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=712402
There seems to be no fix for it
Further to my tip above -- with experience I've found that it doesn't always work, and isn't always appropriate anyway, since it can change the way the element is rendered in subtle and sometimes unpleasant ways.
So, if that doesn't work, another thing you can do which often does, is to specify the outline color as "rgba(0,0,0,0)"
if you attached css-reset in your stylesheet should solve the issue.
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;}
This is less of an answer, and more of an explanation as to what seems to be going on:
The story
My reason for removing opera's outline was to add an outline of my own. To add an outline I used:
:focus{
outline:1px dotted #999;
outline-offset:-3px;
}
This works perfectly fine in every other browser... except Opera. Opera instead gives you this weird interference pattern, which looks like a dotted-dashed outline:
now if you remove your outline, you still have the standard outline that Opera provides, a nice simple 1px spaced dotted line:
Since I have no way of adding a style to every browser except Opera, I instead decided on removing Opera's outline before adding my own. Using brothercake's solution, -o-transform:rotate(0); to do this and then applying my own outline:
Voila!
An Explanation?
From what I can tell, Opera adds it's own secondary outline on top of any outline defined by CSS.
This secondary outline seems to have an independent color, width, style, and offset.
Color is the opposite of the background,
Width is 1px,
Style is dotted,
and the offset is 2px smaller than the border.
sorry there is no style image, the upload didn't work correctly
one interesting thing is that the dotted style of the Opera outline is not the same as the CSS outline's dotted, otherwise there would be no interference pattern with both:
Conclusion:
As I stated above, I am using brothercake's solution which is to nullify the opera border with:
-o-transform:rotate(0);
As he mentioned in his later comment this 'fix' does have some issues as it is a rendering bug:
I have noticed that when returning window or tab focus to the page containing the button, if the button previously had focus, the Opera outline will reappears until the button loses focus or is hovered over.
better:
outline: solid 0;
for all web browsers
