I have this select element which I have placed the following styles:
select {
background: none;
outline: none;
border: none;
}
Now when its focused it no longer displays browsers default focus, I know I can use pseudoclass :focus to put custom styles, but I just want for it to have browsers default style, how to achieve this?
In most browsers this is normal behavior. When outline/border is defined, most browsers ignore the user-agent stylesheet and the default focus ring isn't shown.
You can use browser-specific CSS proprieties like -webkit-focus-ring (chrome) to make them reappear.
I'm styling some select inputs on a page, and it works fine on Windows Chrome. However, on Mac Chrome, the "native" implementation refuses to go away unless I apply -webkit-appearance: none; The problem with this, of course, is that I lose the down arrow that indicates it's a select element, which I would otherwise be able to add back in if inputs were allowed pseudo-elements (they're not).
Specifically, I'm trying to override the border-radius property, but no amount of border-radius: 0!important will override it.
Create or download a small down arrow and then give the following property to you select:
select{-webkit-appearance: none;
background:url(images/downarrow.png) no-repeat;
background-position: 98% 4px; }
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
If I have a div with the style overflow: hidden; I found that there are times when keyboard actions can cause the div to scroll anyway. And since there are no scrollbars, there is really no way to make the div go back to its original state. Is anything I should do in addition to specifying the style to prevent this?
For example when you select the L with the mouse (in the fiddle) and after that you press the down arrow key while holding down shift (i.e. expanding the selection).
http://jsfiddle.net/PeeHaa/H34mM/
Or another scenario is when there is a textarea in the div: http://jsfiddle.net/h6Bhb/1/
A simple solution would be to disable text-select in the relevant element. Therefor preventing the possibility to use the arrow keys to select more..
To prevent tekst select you need to event.preventDefault() in the mousedown event with JS.
For your fiddle that could look like this in modern standards compliant browsers:
// give the div an id
document.getElementById('div').addEventListener('mousedown', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
Edit
Or as #JimThomas pointed out in the comments you can disable text select using CSS, ofcourse this doesn't enjoy as much support as the JS solution.
How to disable text selection highlighting using CSS?
I couldn't think of a more graceful or more complete (this doesn't solve problems you might have with inputs) solution, and I'm not sure if there even is one...
Add this to your div CSS:
-moz-user-select: -moz-none;
-khtml-user-select: none;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none; /* IE10+ */
user-select: none;
Does not work in < IE10 or Textarea, but I don't believe anything will prevent the textarea scenario unless you disable the textarea itself to prevent selection.
... or go with JS solution.
I'm trying to change the color of input controls when they are disabled using the following css.
input[disabled='disabled']{
color: #666;
}
This works in most browsers, but not IE. I'm able to change any of the other style properties such as background-color, border-color, etc... just not color. Can anyone explain this?
Unfortunately if you use the disabled attribute, no matter what you try IE will just default the color of the text to Grey, with a weird white shadow...thing... yet all other styles will still work. :-/
I had the same problem for <select> elements in IE10 and found a solution that works for select elements only:
http://jsbin.com/ujapog/7/
There is a Microsoft pseudo-element that allows the text color to be modified:
select[disabled='disabled']::-ms-value {
color: #000;
}
The rule must be on it's own, because otherwise other browsers will ignore the whole rule due to syntax error. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/hh869604(v=vs.85).aspx for other Internet Explorer only pseudo elements.
Edit: I think the rule should probably be select[disabled]::-ms-value but I don't have older IE versions in front of me to try it - re-edit this paragraph or add comment if that is an improvement.
There is no way to override styles for disable="disable" attribute. Here is my work around to fix this problem, note I am only selecting submit buttons in my case:
if ($.browser.msie) {
$("input[type='submit'][disabled='disabled']").each(function() {
$(this).removeAttr("disabled");
$(this).attr("onclick", "javascript:return false;");
});
}
example available: http://jsfiddle.net/0dr3jyLp/
I had the same problem with textarea "disabled" changing font color to gray.
I did a workaround by using "readonly" attribute instead of "disabled" attribute to textarea
with below css
textarea[readonly] {
border:none; //for optional look
background-color:#000000; //Desired Background color
color:#ffffff;// Desired text color
}
It worked for me like a charm!!, so I suggest to try this first before any other solution as it is easy to replace "disabled" with "readonly" without changing any other parts of code.
I Know it's been a while since the creation of this topic, but i created this workaround, and well... It worked for me! ( Using IE 9 )
The only consequence is that you can't select the value of the input.
Using Javascript:
if (input.addEventListener)
input.addEventListener('focus', function(){input.blur()}, true)
if (input.attachEvent)
input.attachEvent("onfocus", function(){input.blur()})
I just made the whole background a light gray color, I think it more easily/quickly convey's that the box is disabled.
input[disabled]{
background: #D4D4D4;
}
The way I solved the problem of "disabling" a control in IE w/o the ugly gray with a input control of type = checkbox was to leave it enabled and use a little javascript in the onclick event to prevent changes:
onclick='this.checked == true ? this.checked = false : this.checked = true;'
As mentioned by Wayne, and three years later still no luck w/ IE9, but...
You could try lowering the opacity using CSS, it makes it more readable and helps with the whole disabled state.
It is the solution that I found for this problem:
//if IE
inputElement.writeAttribute("unselectable", "on");
//Other browsers
inputElement.writeAttribute("disabled", "disabled");
By using this trick, you can add style sheet to your input element that works in IE and other browsers on your not-editable input box.
I mixed user1733926's and Hamid's solutions and I found an effective code for IE8, would be nice to know if it works in ie 9/10 as well (?).
<script type="text/javascript">
if ($.browser.msie) {
$("*[disabled='disabled']").each(function() {
$(this).removeAttr("disabled");
$(this).attr("unselectable", "on");
});
}
</script>
After reading this post I decided to create a input that acts similarly to a disabled input box but was "readonly".
So I've made it so it wasn't able to be selected or tabbed to, or have a mouse cursor that gave the user the idea they can change or select the value.
Tested on IE8/9, Mozzila 18, Chrome 29
<input name="UserName" class="accountInputDisabled" id="UserName" type="text" readOnly="readonly" value="" unselectable="on" tabindex="-1" onselectstart="return false;" ondragstart="return false;" onmousedown='return false;'/>
input.accountInputDisabled {
border: 1px solid #BABABA !important;
background-color: #E5E5E5 !important;
color: #000000;
-webkit-touch-callout: none;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-khtml-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-moz-user-input: disabled;
-ms-user-select: none;
cursor:not-allowed;
}
input:focus {
outline: none;
}
No need to overrride CSS use class based approach and play with events works perfectly
You can do one thing:
<button class="disabled" onmousedown="return checkDisable();">
function checkDisable() {
if ($(this).hasClass('disabled')) { return false; }
}

Remove disabled attribute and use readonly attribute. Write required CSS for achieving the required result. This works in IE8 and IE9.
for e.g., for dark grey,
input[readonly]{
color: #333333;
}
Please check this CSS code.
input[type='button']:disabled, button:disabled
{
color:#933;
text-decoration:underline;
}

The problem is solved in IE11.
If the problem still persists in IE11, check for the rendering engine IE is using.
I came across this piece of code at stackoverflow which helped me take off disable css class using javascript.
$("#textboxtest").prop("disabled", false).removeClass("k-state-disabled");
Original thread can be found at Applying k-state-disabled class to text inputs - Kendo UI
Thought I should share!
Use this css, works for IE11:
input[disabled="disabled"], select[disabled="disabled"], textarea[disabled="disabled"] {
opacity:0.99 !important;
background:black;
text-shadow:inherit;
background-color:white;
color:black
}
