1. Re: Annoying dotted lines in browser
Nancy O. Jul 8, 2010 4:01 PM (in response to rlafoto1)How can I get rid of the yellow dotted line?
Outlines on links are there for web accessibility reasons.
Preview your page and use the tab key to scroll through links. If you remove link outlines, people who cannot use a mouse will have a very difficult time understanding which links they are on.

Ben Pleysier Jul 8, 2010 7:09 PM (in response to rlafoto1)Use at the top of your style sheet
* {
outline:none;
}
That is if you want to ignore the advice that Nancy has given you.

rlafoto1 Jul 8, 2010 7:49 PM (in response to Ben Pleysier)Hi Ben,
I am not sure we are talking about the same thing (www.rannallenphotography.com). These lines really don't have any affect on the ability to see the link using tabs.
I tried incorporating your suggestion and is did not seem to work...
Thanks for your support - I will do a little more work and see if I am placing the code in the right place.

It did not occur to me that they would disappear once the link became effective...
