input:focus isn't working on Firefox

Question

I have the following style which I've verified is being loaded:

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

I did this to stop showing the dotted rectangle when I click on something. This works for everything in FireFox that I've noticed, except for my input buttons. My input buttons still show a dotted rectangle around them when I click them.

How can I get them to stop doing that?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I needed to do this (source):

/*for FireFox*/
input[type="submit"]::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner,
button::-moz-focus-inner { border : 0px; }

/*for IE8 */
input[type="submit"]:focus,
input[type="button"]:focus { outline : none; }

I already had "outline: 0" set on everything via a reset, but that -moz-focus-inner was needed to get rid of the dotted line on a CSS-styled button.

OTHER TIPS

<input ... onfocus="this.blur();"/> will do the trick

or jQuery : 

$("input").focus(function(){this.blur();});

This works for me (tried it in both firefox 2 and 3)

<html>
<head>
  <title>Test</title>
  <style>
   :focus { -moz-outline-style: none;}
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <form action="#">
    <input type="image" src="button.png" />
  </form>
</body>
</html>

Just add a button.png :-)
