How to Customize Input Button Styling on iOS Devices and Overcome Default Appearance?

Overriding Default Input Button Styling on iOS Devices

Styling input buttons with CSS presents a unique challenge on iOS devices, as the Mac's default styles override custom designs. To address this, consider employing the -webkit-appearance: none; property. This property allows you to eliminate the default Mac styling and apply your custom CSS instead.

Additional Options for iOS Button Customization

Beyond using -webkit-appearance: none;, you can explore alternative approaches to achieve your desired styling:

• Use the [-moz-appearance] property: For Firefox and other Mozilla-based browsers on iOS, you can use -moz-appearance: none; to achieve the same effect as -webkit-appearance: none;.
• Create a Hyperlink as a Submit Button: As a workaround, you can create a hyperlink element that behaves as a submit button. Add the following attribute to the tag: type="submit". This will instruct the browser to submit the form when the link is clicked, providing a custom button element that aligns with your desired styling.

/* Remove default iOS styling */
input[type="submit"] {
  -webkit-appearance: none;
  -moz-appearance: none;
}

/* Apply custom styling */
input[type="submit"] {
  background-color: #33b5e5;
  color: white;
  border: none;
  padding: 10px 15px;
  cursor: pointer;
  border-radius: 5px;
}
