CSS :hover in IE

[drs9222]

I know that it only works with A tags. Does anyone know how to get rid of the little dotted border when it gets focus. Having to use links wouldn't be so bad if I could get rid of that last little thing.

The way to do this is to blur the link. Let's say you have a link and you don't want it to select. So...

<a href="thesite.html" [red]onClick="[i]window.document.links[0].blur()[/i]">Link!</a>[/red]

would deselect the link after it has been clicked.

I'd try using this.blur, to save having to increment the number for large copy/paste operations:

<a href="thesite.html" onClick="this.blur();">Link!</a>

You might find, however, that in some browsers, you need to assign a tabIndex to the A tags to get the blur to work.

Hope this helps,
Dan

oh sorry I was hoping for a pure css solution. But thanks.
