:focus-within only works when focusing button with keyboard, not with click in Firefox 63












1














I have a field layout with an outer div (.field) and the label, input and a button inside that field. When I focus the input field, the :focus-within pseudo selector matches, so .field__inner gets an outer border color.



When I use tab to cycle through the elements, the :focus-within matches when I focus the input field or the button.



But when I click the button, :focus-within doesn't seem to 'trigger' (it works in Chrome though).



I've tried to add a tabindex attribute to the button, but that had no effect.



I am using Firefox 63 on macOS.






.field__inner {
border: 1px solid #000;
}

.field:focus-within .field__inner {
border: 1px solid #f00;
}

<div class="field">
<div class="field__inner">
<label for="password" class="field__label">
Name
</label>
<input type="text" class="field__input" value="">
<button class="field__passwordreveal" type="button">
Click this button!
</button>
</div>
</div>





How can I maintain :focus-within in Firefox when I click the button?



Edit: added animated gif to demonstrate the issue:

  • Works fine in ff/chrome and ie/edge don't support it. Clicking the button presents the red border so unable to reproduce.
