Css – Remove blue border from css custom-styled button in Chrome

cssgoogle-chrome

I'm working on a web page, and I want custom-styled <button> tags. So with CSS, I said: border: none. Now it works perfectly in safari, but in chrome, when I click one of the buttons, it puts an annoying blue border around it. I thought button:active { outline: none } or button:focus { outline:none } would work, but neither do. Any ideas?

This is what it looks like before being clicked (and how I want it to still look after being clicked):

And this is the border I'm talking about:

enter image description here

Here is my CSS:

button.launch {
    background-color: #F9A300;
    border: none;
    height: 40px;
    padding: 5px 15px;
    color: #ffffff;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-weight: 300;
    margin-top: 10px;
    margin-right: 10px;
}

button.launch:hover {
    cursor: pointer;
    background-color: #FABD44;
}

button.change {
    background-color: #F88F00;
    border: none;
    height: 40px;
    padding: 5px 15px;
    color: #ffffff;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-weight: 300;
    margin-top: 10px;
    margin-right: 10px;
}

button.change:hover {
    cursor: pointer;
    background-color: #F89900;
}

button:active {
    outline: none;
    border: none;
}

Doing this is not recommended as it regresses the accessibility of your site; for more info, see this post.

That said, if you insist, this CSS should work:

button:focus {outline:0;}
