How do I change the tint colour from around the confluence searchbox?

[Liam O'Neill]

When you click into the search box in the top right of the screen, the box is highlighted blue around the edges. How do I change this highlight colour? Is it in CSS?

Alternatively you can set outline: none; - take a look at http://jsbin.com/ekateg/1/

You need to set a background or border in order for it to work in Firefox. This might be better than the heavy-handed approach presented by Oliver.

Thanks Sean, that worked a treat.

For reference to others, the CSS code is:

input {
  background-color: #fff;
  border: 1px solid #999;
  outline: none;
}

If I understood you correct you mean the highlighting, which is comming from the browser.

this is a html5 thing. I struggled around a lot, as I wrote a theme for confluence.

its really hard tu supress this ;-)

something to read: http://css-tricks.com/webkit-html5-search-inputs/

what I've done:

input[type="search"] {

    -webkit-appearance: textfield;

}



input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-decoration,

input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-cancel-button,

input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-results-button,

input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-results-decoration {

    display: none;

}
