Removing input background colour for Chrome autocomplete

Question

On a form I m working on  Chrome is auto-filling the email and password fields  This is fine  however  Chrome changes the background colour to a pale yellow colour   The design I m working on is using light text on a dark background  so this really messes up the look of the form - I have stark yellow boxes and near-invisible white text  Once the field is focused  the fields return to normal   Is it possible to stop Chrome changing the colour of these fields

This is my solution  I used transition and transition delay therefore I can have a transparent background on my input fields    input -webkit-autofill  input -webkit-autofill hover  input -webkit-autofill focus  input -webkit-autofill active       -webkit-transition   color 9999s ease-out  background-color 9999s ease-out       -webkit-transition-delay  9999s

In addition to this   input -webkit-autofill  -webkit-box-shadow  0 0 0px 1000px white inset      You might also want to add  input -webkit-autofill focus  -webkit-box-shadow  0 0 0px 1000px white inset  0 0 8px rgba 82  168  236  0 6       Other wise  when you click on the input  the yellow color will come back   For the focus  if you are using bootstrap  the second part is for the border highlighting  0 0 8px rgba 82  168  236  0 6     Such that it will just look like any bootstrap input

If you want to keep the autocomplete functionality intact you can use a bit of jQuery to remove Chrome s styling  I wrote a short post about it here  http   www benjaminmiles com 2010 11 22 fixing-google-chromes-yellow-autocomplete-styles-with-jquery   if  navigator userAgent toLowerCase   indexOf  chrome    gt   0      window  load function           input -webkit-autofill   each function            var text     this  val            var name     this  attr  name              this  after this outerHTML  remove               input name     name        val text

Thanks Benjamin    The Mootools solution is a little more tricky  as I can t get fields by using     input -webkit-autofill    So what I ve used is the following   if  navigator userAgent toLowerCase   indexOf  chrome    gt   0       window addEvent  load   function         setTimeout clearWebkitBg  20       var elems   getElems        for  var i   0  i  lt  elems length  i              elems i   addEvent  blur   clearWebkitBg                 function clearWebkitBg        var elems   getElems      for  var i   0  i  lt  elems length  i          var oldInput     elems i        var newInput   new Element  input            name   oldInput get  name           id   oldInput get  id           type   oldInput get  type           class   oldInput get  class           value   oldInput get  value               var container   oldInput getParent        oldInput destroy        container adopt newInput         function getElems       return   pass    login       ids

It might be a little late but for future referent there is a CSS ONLY solution as Olly Hodgons shows here  http   lostmonocle com post 1479126030 fixing-the-chrome-autocomplete-background-colour  All you have to do is to add a further selector to overwrite the default input fields setting  So use instead of   input -webkit-autofill       background-color   FAFFBD  important      Somthing like    login input -webkit-autofill       background-color   ff00ff      or   form input -webkit-autofill       background-color   f0f      which seems to work fine with me

We can use the -webkit-autofill pseudo-selector to target those fields and style them as we see fit  The default styling only affects the background color  but most other properties apply here  such as border and font-size  We can even change the color of the text using -webkit-text-fill-color which is included in the snippet below      Change Autocomplete styles in Chrome    input -webkit-autofill  input -webkit-autofill hover   input -webkit-autofill focus  textarea -webkit-autofill  textarea -webkit-autofill hover  textarea -webkit-autofill focus  select -webkit-autofill  select -webkit-autofill hover  select -webkit-autofill focus     border  1px solid green    -webkit-text-fill-color  green    -webkit-box-shadow  0 0 0px 1000px  000 inset    transition  background-color 5000s ease-in-out 0s

You can change input box styles as well as text styles inside input box  Here you can use any color e g  white   DDD  rgba 102  163  177  0 45   But transparent won t work here     Change the white to any color    input -webkit-autofill  input -webkit-autofill hover   input -webkit-autofill focus   input -webkit-autofill active    -webkit-box-shadow  0 0 0 30px white inset  important     Additionally  you can use this to change the text color    Change text in autofill textbox   input -webkit-autofill    -webkit-text-fill-color  yellow  important     Advice  Don t use an excessive blur radius in the hundreds or thousands  This has no benefit and might put processor load on weaker mobile devices   Also true for actual  outside shadows   For a normal input box of 20px height  30px    blur radius    will perfectly cover it

None of the solutions worked for me  the inset shadow won t work for me because the inputs have a translucent background overlaid over the page background   So I asked myself   How does Chrome determine what should be autofilled on a given page     Does it look for input ids  input names  Form ids  Form action    Through my experimentation with the username and the password inputs  there were only two ways I found that would cause Chrome to not be able to find the fields that should be autofilled   1  Put the password input ahead of the text input  2  Give them the same name and id     or no name and id at all   After the page loads  with javascript you can either dynamically change the order of the inputs on the page  or dynamically give them their name and id      And Chrome doesn t know what hit it     autocomplete is broken   Crazy hack  I know  But it s working for me   Chrome 34 0 1847 116  OSX 10 7 5

The previous solutions of adding a box-shadow works well for people who need a solid colour background  The other solution of adding a transition works  but having to set a duration delay will mean that at some point it may show again   My solution is to use keyframes instead  that way it will always show the colours of your choosing    -webkit-keyframes autofill       0  100            color   666          background  transparent           input -webkit-autofill       -webkit-animation-delay  1s     Safari support - any positive time runs instantly        -webkit-animation-name  autofill      -webkit-animation-fill-mode  both      Example Codepen  https   codepen io -Steve- pen dwgxPB
