<p>The <strong><code>:focus</code></strong> <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS">CSS</a> <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Pseudo-classes" title="Pseudo-classes">pseudo-class</a> represents an element (such as a form input) that has received focus. It is generally triggered when the user clicks or taps on an element or selects it with the keyboard's <kbd>Tab</kbd> key.</p>
<pre class="brush: css no-line-numbers notranslate">/* Selects any <input> when focused */
input:focus {
color: red;
}</pre>
<div class="blockIndicator note">
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This pseudo-class applies only to the focused element itself. Use {{CSSxRef(":focus-within")}} if you want to select an element that <em>contains</em> a focused element.</p>

<p>Make sure the visual focus indicator can be seen by people with low vision. This will also benefit anyone use a screen in a brightly lit space (like outside in the sun). <a href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/non-text-contrast.html">WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.11 Non-Text Contrast</a> requires that the visual focus indicator be at least 3 to 1.</p>

<h3 id="focus_outline_none"><code>:focus { outline: none; }</code></h3>
<p>Never just remove the focus outline (visible focus indicator) without replacing it with a focus outline that will pass <a href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/non-text-contrast.html">WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.11 Non-Text Contrast</a>.</p>
