The Issue with the Variant Selector Button Feature in Webflow

When using the variant selector button feature in Webflow, you may encounter an issue where a blue outline appears around the selected variant. This outline is a default browser behavior known as the focus outline. It is intended to provide a visual indication that an element is currently being interacted with or focused on.

While this outline can be helpful for accessibility purposes, it might not always align with the desired visual design of your website. Therefore, you may want to disable or modify it to suit your needs.

Disabling the Focus Outline

To disable the focus outline for variant selector buttons in Webflow, you can use custom code. Here's how:

1. In the Webflow Designer, select the element with the variant selector button.
2. Open the Settings panel by clicking on the gear icon.
3. In the Settings panel, select the "Custom Code" tab.
4. In the "Head Code" section, paste the following CSS code:

/* Disable focus outline */button:focus {  outline: none;}

1. Save and publish your changes.

By adding this CSS code, you are explicitly stating that when the button element is in focus (i.e., being interacted with), it should not display any outline. This will effectively disable the blue outline for your variant selector buttons.

Different Appearance in Different Browsers

Even after disabling the focus outline, you may notice that the appearance of variant selector buttons differs across different browsers. This variation is due to the default styling applied by each browser.

Browsers have their own default styles that they apply to form elements, including buttons. These styles can include border, padding, and background color, among other properties. As a result, the appearance of variant selector buttons might not be consistent across different browsers.

To ensure consistent styling across browsers, you can override the default browser styles by explicitly styling the buttons using custom CSS. By defining your own styles, you can achieve a consistent look for your variant selector buttons, regardless of the browser being used.
