Removing the Blue Glow from an HTML Text Input When Selected

Removing the blue glow from an HTML text input when selected

This should do it:

input:focus {
    outline:none;
}

EDIT (2015): If you are designing for a wide audience, recall that the outline is often a critical accessibility feature for users who navigate via keyboards or require more apparent visual feedback. If you remove the outline, make sure to define an alternative focus state that provides appropriate visual feedback to your users.

Change Bootstrap input focus blue glow

In the end I changed the following css entry in bootstrap.css

textarea:focus,
input[type="text"]:focus,
input[type="password"]:focus,
input[type="datetime"]:focus,
input[type="datetime-local"]:focus,
input[type="date"]:focus,
input[type="month"]:focus,
input[type="time"]:focus,
input[type="week"]:focus,
input[type="number"]:focus,
input[type="email"]:focus,
input[type="url"]:focus,
input[type="search"]:focus,
input[type="tel"]:focus,
input[type="color"]:focus,
.uneditable-input:focus {   
  border-color: rgba(126, 239, 104, 0.8);
  box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.075) inset, 0 0 8px rgba(126, 239, 104, 0.6);
  outline: 0 none;
}

How to remove the border highlight on an input text element

Before you do that, keep in mind that the focus outline is an accessibility and usability feature; it clues the user into what element is currently focused, and a lot of users depend on it. You need to find some other means to make focus visible.

In your case, try:

input.middle:focus {
    outline-width: 0;
}

Or in general, to affect all basic form elements:

input:focus,
select:focus,
textarea:focus,
button:focus {
    outline: none;
}

In the comments, Noah Whitmore suggested taking this even further to support elements that have the contenteditable attribute set to true (effectively making them a type of input element). The following should target those as well (in CSS3 capable browsers):

[contenteditable="true"]:focus {
    outline: none;
}

Although I wouldn't recommend it, for completeness' sake, you could always disable the focus outline on everything with this:

*:focus {
    outline: none;
}

How to remove border(focus-indication) of input field while it is clicked

This is .field:focus{outline: none} not .field:focus{border: none}

Remove Safari/Chrome textinput/textarea glow

Edit (11 years later): Don't do this unless you're going to provide a fallback to indicate which element is active. Otherwise, this harms accessibility as it essentially removes the indication showing which element in a document has focus. Imagine being a keyboard user and not really knowing what element you can interact with. Let accessibility trump aesthetics here.

textarea, select, input, button { outline: none; }

Although, it's been argued that keeping the glow/outline is actually beneficial for accessibility as it can help users see which Element is currently focused.

You can also use the pseudo-element ':focus' to only target the inputs when the user has them selected.

How To Disable Blue Glow For Html Button In Ie9

I was just hoping to get rid of the blue color.

You can't just get rid of it, because Internet Explorer uses the native buttons, from your system theme. Take a look at any system dialog box with a button, for example when you change your wallpaper.

You can only remove the blue inner glow if you're willing to style a decent looking button yourself, starting with setting a border/background (which disables using the native style).
