A dotted text box appears around the link after it has been clicked until you click elsewhere. It looks awful. How can I get rid of it? To see what I'm talking about, the current copy of the page I'm working on can be found at... http://www.orangeshadow.com/~jdavis/
The Menu and Gallery tabs are the ones that I am referring to. I would like to eliminate this all together though.

Add the following code between your <head></head> tags:

<style type="text/css">
a:focus, a:active {
outline: 0;
-moz-outline: none;
}
</style>

Tested in Firefox 2.0 and IE 6+

Sorry that is for Firefox only. To handle IE you can add <a href="index.html" hidefocus="true">Home</a>.
