Remove blue highlight over html image when clicked

Question

I am making a custom Application in Android. I am displaying a html page with an img tag inside a div.

<div class="press">
    <img src="but.png" width="150" height="62" border="0"/>
</div>

In the javascript I am writing:

$(".press").bind("click",function()    
{
//display something
});

When I click on the image, the click is working but the image is surrounded with a blue overlay.

Image 2 when image clicked

I dont understand how to remove it. I have tried many ways but none of the answers work. Please help. Thanks

Answer 1

You can prevent selection on your page through css. You can change the * selector to the element selector you want to prevent from selection.

/*IE9*/
*::selection 
{
    background-color:transparent;
} 
*::-moz-selection
{
    background-color:transparent;
}
*
{        
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: -moz-none;
    /*IE10*/
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;

    /*You just need this if you are only concerned with android and not desktop browsers.*/
    -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}    
input[type="text"], textarea, [contenteditable]
{

    -webkit-user-select: text;
    -moz-user-select: text;
    -ms-user-select: text;
    user-select: text;
}

Try this:

CSS

.press, img, .press:focus, img:focus{
    outline: 0 !important;
    border:0 none !important;
}

Answer 3

You could use CSS:

** HTML **

<button class="press">
    <img src="but.png" width="150" height="62" border="0"/>
</button>

** CSS **

.press{
    outline-width: 0;
}

.press:focus{
    outline: none;
}
