Css pseudo classes input:not(disabled)not:[type="submit"]:focus

Instead of:

input:not(disabled)not:[type="submit"]:focus {}

Use:

input:not([disabled]):not([type="submit"]):focus {}

disabled is an attribute so it needs the brackets, and you seem to have mixed up/missing colons and parentheses on the :not() selector.

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/HSKPx/

One thing to note: I may be wrong, but I don't think disabled inputs can normally receive focus, so that part may be redundant.

Alternatively, use :enabled

input:enabled:not([type="submit"]):focus { /* styles here */ }

Again, I can't think of a case where disabled input can receive focus, so it seems unnecessary.


Your syntax is pretty screwy.

Change this:

input:not(disabled)not:[type="submit"]:focus{

to:

input:not(:disabled):not([type="submit"]):focus{

Seems that many people don't realize :enabled and :disabled are valid CSS selectors...


You have a few typos in your select. It should be: input:not([disabled]):not([type="submit"]):focus

See this jsFiddle for a proof of concept. On a sidenote, if I removed the "background-color" property, then the box shadow no longer works. Not sure why.
