Is there a way of completely removing the styling of a button in Internet Explorer? I use a css sprite for my button, and everything looks ok.
But when I click the button, it moves to the top a little, it makes it look out of shape. Is there a css click state, or mousedown? I don't know what triggers that state.
I know it's not a really big deal, but sometimes it's the small things that matter.
I think this provides a more thorough approach:
button, input[type="submit"], input[type="reset"] { background: none; color: inherit; border: none; padding: 0; font: inherit; cursor: pointer; outline: inherit; }<button>Example</button>
!important. That said I've removed it as it's a situation decision. background: none is entirely valid: stackoverflow.com/questions/20784292/…
text-align: inherit;
{ all: initial; font: inherit; color: inherit; }Your question says "Internet Explorer," but for those interested in other browsers, you can now use all: unset on buttons to unstyle them.
It doesn't work in IE, but it's well-supported everywhere else.
Accessibility warning: For the sake of users who aren't using a mouse pointer, be sure to re-add some :focus styling, e.g. button:focus { outline: orange auto 5px } for keyboard accessibility. If you're feeling lazy, you can button:focus { outline: revert } to revert the outline to the browser's default. https://caniuse.com/css-revert-value
(And, I hope this goes without saying, but be sure to add back some kind of styling so your button actually looks like a button, and preferably some :hover styling, too. If your button doesn't have a border, consider cursor: pointer as well.)
button { all: unset; } button:focus { outline: revert; }<button>check it out</button>
outline styles for the :focus element state, for instance.
outline style. (But I don't think there's anything else that we need to re-add for a11y purposes. Do you know of anything?)color of the button after using all: unset can fail in Safari 13.1, due to a bug in WebKit. (The bug is fixed in Safari 14 and up.) "all: unset is setting -webkit-text-fill-color to black, and that overrides color." If you need to set text color after using all: unset, be sure to set both the color and the -webkit-text-fill-color to the same color.
I'm assuming that when you say 'click the button, it moves to the top a little' you're talking about the mouse down click state for the button, and that when you release the mouse click, it returns to its normal state? And that you're disabling the default rendering of the button by using:
input, button, submit { border:none; } If so..
Personally, I've found that you can't actually stop/override/disable this IE native action, which led me to change my markup a little to allow for this movement and not affect the overall look of the button for the various states.
This is my final mark-up:
<span class="your-button-class"> <span> <input type="Submit" value="View Person"> </span> </span>Add simple style to your button
.btn { background: none; color: inherit; border: none; padding: 0; font: inherit; cursor: pointer; outline: inherit; } 
Try removing the border from your button:
input, button, submit { border:none; } I think it's the button "active" state.
