How to create a border around my button when being click?

Currently I am trying to make my mobile app to be like, a default border around my button “OFF” when i go in my app. After “ON” button is being click, the border will be around my “ON” button, When i click “OFF” button, the border will change back to be around my “OFF” button.

Use active and focus selectors

button-balanced:active,
button-balanced:focus
{
 border:1.5em solid #00c; /* here change your border */
 
}

I am still quite new to ionic, may I know where and how should I put the codes in? Thank you.

@blanko have a look at the components library here

It will show you in left panel all built in block that are sure to work when you after build something for android and ios.

Hope that helps :slight_smile:

I’ve seen it. However, what i planning to do is to let user know which button is “activated” by using border around whichever button that is click. Thank you anyway :slight_smile:
