This question is related to html css

The answer is


You can use CSS's pseudo-class to do that. A pseudo-class is used to define a special state of an element.

there is a ::focus pseudo-class that is used to select the element that has focus. So you can hook it in your CSS like this

Using class

_x000D_
_x000D_
.my-input::focus {
  outline-color: green;
}
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Using Id

_x000D_
_x000D_
#my-input::focus {
  outline-color: red;
}
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Directly selecting element

_x000D_
_x000D_
input::focus {
  outline-color: blue;
}
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Using attribute selector

_x000D_
_x000D_
input[type="text"]::focus {
  outline-color: orange;
}
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_


Probably a more appropriate way of changing outline color is using the outline-color CSS rule.

textarea {
  outline-color: #719ECE;
}

or for input

input {
  outline-color: #719ECE;
}

box-shadow isn't quite the same thing and it may look different than the outline, especially if you apply custom styling to your element.


you need just in scss varible

$input-btn-focus-width:       .05rem !default;

Try out this probably it will work

input{
outline-color: #fff //your color
outline-style: none // it depend on you 
}

There is an input:focus as there is a textarea:focus

input:focus { 
    outline: none !important;
    border-color: #719ECE;
    box-shadow: 0 0 10px #719ECE;
}
textarea:focus { 
    outline: none !important;
    border-color: #719ECE;
    box-shadow: 0 0 10px #719ECE;
}

so simple :

 outline-color : blue !important;

the whole CSS for my react-boostrap button is:

.custom-btn {
    font-size:1.9em;
    background: #2f5bff;
    border: 2px solid #78e4ff;
    border-radius: 3px;
    padding: 50px 70px;
    outline-color : blue !important;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    user-select: auto;
    -moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
    -webkit-border-radius: 3px;
    -moz-border-radius: 3px;
}
