How to remove drop shadow in basic links in Jquery Mobile?

Question

<div data-role="page" style="background:#000">
    <a href="http://google.com">test</a>
</div>

As you can see here: http://jsfiddle.net/KCqqN/

Jquery Mobile appears to add a white color drop shadow, how to get rid of that?

Solution 1

In your stylesheet (make sure it is below the jQuery mobile stylesheet)

Simply set the text-shadow yourself, to whatever you want.

.ui-body-c, .ui-overlay-c { text-shadow:0 0 0; }

In the jsFiddle it loads the jquery mobile css afterwards, so if you throw an additional tag in there (or use !important, better not to though) it'll trump it.

body .ui-body-c, body .ui-overlay-c { text-shadow:0 0 0; } // more specificity

Solution 2

Very simple!

add code below before everything in your CSS:

* {
    text-shadow: none !important;
}

Thank you, that helped! This shadow thingy in JQuery Mobile is so annoying, they should not set it by default!
