Preserved Topic: Getting rid of the......

Dotted box that appears around an image after it is clicked. I have seen this code before but am unable to find it or even remember how to write it. I know it was simple and I have used it in the past.

If ya know it please post it.

Thanx

<A HREF="" ONCLICK="this.blur()"></A>

You can also find the global solution (so that you don't have to edit all <A> tags) that I wrote here: http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Archives/Archive-000003/HTML/20010305-2-000355.html

Thanx Max, much appriciated.

if you have alot of stuff (maybe the whole page) of links that you want the dotted box to go away when clicked, adding that onclick attribute to every <a> tag would be too rediculous.

try this
<script>
function disfocus(){
document.activeElement.blur();
}

document.onclick=disfocus;
</script>
give me a few minutes and I coulda extend this to Netscape-Compatible, but I don't feel like wasting my time on that. (not that I don't want to help you)


by the way, is it a personal freedom to choose if one should be able to see a caret in their browser on their own computer?
if they don't want to see it, or if youdon't want to see it, you can go to internet options and take it off with ONE click.

Sometimes I use

<a href="..." onFocus="this.blur();">

onFocus instead of onClick. But then that messes things up if they're trying to use their keyboard to navigate around your page with the tab button.

Galaxal, I've already created a global script that works in IE & Mozilla. Just take a look at the link that I've posted...
