CSS change button style after click
Solution 1:
If you're looking for a pure css option, try using the :focus pseudo class.
#style {
background-color: red;
}
#style:focus {
background-color:yellow;
}
Solution 2:
Each link has five different states: link
, hover
, active
, focus
and visited
.
Link
is the normal appearance, hover
is when you mouse over, active
is the state when it's clicked, focus
follows active and visited
is the state you end up when you unfocus the recently clicked link.
I'm guessing you want to achieve a different style on either focus
or visited
, then you can add the following CSS:
a { color: #00c; }
a:visited { #ccc; }
a:focus { #cc0; }
A recommended order in your CSS to not cause any trouble is the following:
a
a:visited { ... }
a:focus { ... }
a:hover { ... }
a:active { ... }
You can use your web browser's developer tools to force the states of the element like this (Chrome->Developer Tools/Inspect Element->Style->Filter :hov): Force state in Chrome Developer Tools
Solution 3:
It is possible to do with CSS only by selecting active and focus pseudo element of the button.
button:active{
background:olive;
}
button:focus{
background:olive;
}

You could also write a simple jQuery click function which changes the background color.
HTML:
<button class="js-click">Click me!</button>
CSS:
button {
background: none;
}
JavaScript:
$( ".js-click" ).click(function() {
$( ".js-click" ).css('background', 'green');
});
