Remove Outline from Select Box in Ff

Remove outline from select box in FF

I found a solution, but it is mother of all hacks, hopefully it will serve as a starting point for other more robust solutions. The downside (too big in my opinion) is that any browser that doesn't support text-shadow but supports rgba (IE 9) won't render the text unless you use a library such as Modernizr (not tested, just a theory).

Firefox uses the text color to determine the color of the dotted border. So say if you do...

select {
  color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
}

Firefox will render the dotted border transparent. But of course your text will be transparent too! So we must somehow display the text. text-shadow comes to the rescue:

select {
  color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
  text-shadow: 0 0 0 #000;
}

We put a text shadow with no offset and no blur, so that replaces the text. Of course older browser don't understand anything of this, so we must provide a fallback for the color:

select {
  color: #000;
  color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
  text-shadow: 0 0 0 #000;
}

This is when IE9 comes into play: it supports rgba but not text-shadow, so you will get an apparently empty select box. Get your version of Modernizr with text-shadow detection and do...

.no-textshadow select {
  color: #000;
}

Enjoy.

Cannot remove outline/dotted border from Firefox select drop down

Found my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18853002/1261316

It wasn't set as the correct answer, but it worked perfectly for me:

select:-moz-focusring {
    color: transparent;
    text-shadow: 0 0 0 #000;
}
select {
    background: transparent;
}

How to remove border highlight on an select after press it

As i guessed, its due to bootstrap styles:

.form-control:focus /* => from bootstrap css */
{
 ...
 outline: 0;
 box-shadow: 0 0 0 0.2rem rgba(0,123,255,.25); /* => this cause the highlight! */
}

it sets a box-shadow for .form-control:focus. you have to override it in your css:

input:focus,select:focus, .form-control:focus,textarea:focus,button:focus {  outline: none !important;  box-shadow: none !important;}
body {  padding: 40px 20px 20px 20px;}
.qa-collapse {  background-color: rgb(245, 245, 245);}
.qa-input {  border-top-left-radius: 50px;  border-bottom-left-radius: 50px;  border-right: none !important;  border: 1px solid #F2F2F2;  width: 82%;  padding: .25rem .75rem;  font-size: 1rem;  line-height: 1.5;  color: #495057;  background-color: #fff;  background-image: none;  background-clip: padding-box;  transition: border-color ease-in-out .15s, box-shadow ease-in-out .15s;}
.qa-search {  border-top-right-radius: 50px;  border-bottom-right-radius: 50px;  background-color: #E01E34;  border: 1px solid #E01E34;  padding: .2rem .75rem;}
input[type="text"].qa-input::-webkit-input-placeholder {  color: ;  font-size: 80%;  font-family: PosLight;}

How to remove focus border (outline) around text/input boxes? (Chrome)

This border is used to show that the element is focused (i.e. you can type in the input or press the button with Enter). You can remove it with outline property, though:

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

You may want to add some other way for users to know what element has keyboard focus though for usability.

Chrome will also apply highlighting to other elements such as DIV's used as modals. To prevent the highlight on those and all other elements as well, you can do:

*:focus {
    outline: none;
}

⚠️ Accessibility warning

Please notice that removing outline from input is an accessibility bad practice. Users using screen readers will not be able to see where their pointer is focused at. More info at a11yproject
