:autofill - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN (original) (raw)

Newly available

The :autofill CSS pseudo-class matches when an element has its value autofilled by the browser. The class stops matching if the user edits the field.

Try it

label {
  display: block;
  margin-top: 1em;
}

input:is(:-webkit-autofill, :autofill) {
  border: 3px solid darkorange;
}

<form>
  <p>Click on the text box and choose any option suggested by your browser.</p>

  <label for="name">Name</label>
  <input id="name" name="name" type="text" autocomplete="name" />

  <label for="email">Email Address</label>
  <input id="email" name="email" type="email" autocomplete="email" />

  <label for="country">Country</label>
  <input id="country" name="country" type="text" autocomplete="country-name" />
</form>

**Note:**The user agent style sheets of many browsers use !important in their :-webkit-autofill style declarations, making them non-overridable by webpages without resorting to JavaScript hacks. For example Chrome has the following in its internal stylesheet:

background-color: rgb(232 240 254) !important;
background-image: none !important;
color: -internal-light-dark(black, white) !important;

This means that you cannot set the background-color, background-image, or color in your own rules.

Syntax

Examples

The following example demonstrates the use of the :autofill pseudo-class to change the border of a text field that has been autocompleted by the browser. To ensure we don't create an invalid selector list, both :-webkit-autofill and :autofill are matched using a forgiving selector list with :is().

input {
  border-radius: 3px;
}

input:is(:-webkit-autofill, :autofill) {
  border: 3px dotted orange;
}

<form method="post" action="">
  <label for="email">Email</label>
  <input type="email" name="email" id="email" autocomplete="email" />
</form>
