CSS: Removing that dotted line around a link

Just a quick note to myself…

I’m working on a navigation system that uses CSS image replacement. To hide the text, CSS shifts it out of view by using the text-indent property and a big negative value. However, a side-effect of this is that when you click on a link, the dotted border that appears while you’re holding the mouse button down goes off the side of the page.

To get around this, I just wanted to disable it. After some searching I discovered the outline property — setting this to ‘none’ gets rid of it entirely:

a{
outline: none;
}

Of course, the above will remove it for all links, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to make it more specific.
