Question

I just tried out the jQuery Validation Plugin and when I click in a textbox it gets highlighted with a brownish/beige color, how can I change this to another color?

Thanks in advance.

I don’t believe that the outline is applied by the plugin. The light yellow color on focused inputs is part of Chrome’s default stylesheet. If you want to remove the outline, use this CSS rule:

input:focus {
    outline: 0;
}

The syntax for this is the same as that for the border property. However, you should still try to give focused elements some sort of highlighting, for accessibility.
