Border color

I have changed the colour of the buttons and I have been able to change the all the colours in various states. However, I cannot get rid of the blue border when the button has been pressed. Can anyone help? If you need to see my code, I can post.

Thanks

Not a Bootstrap user but I would suggest to utilize the developer tools in your browser to identify which class or id is responsible for the blue border.

I see that you solved your problem, but just an fyi many developer tools let you toggle active states to troubleshoot. In chrome there's a drop down in filters labeled ":hov" that lets you toggle active, hover, focus and visited states.

If its of any use to anyone, I managed to solve the problem. 

          .btn:focus,
.btn:active {
   outline: none !important;
}
          ```

You'll need to target it with the :focus pseudo class. 

myButton:hover,
myButton:focus {
   property: style;
}

I have added your code; doesn't seem to work

          .btn:hover, 
.btn:focus { 
   border-color: #d74419;
} 

Can you assist any more?

Thanks
