Since FireFox 1.5, there have been unsightly dotted outlines around links after you click on them.
I normally don't mind as it's pretty unobtrusive. However, I noticed when using rokzoom in 'album' mode, the outline is pretty annoying. (See attached)
The fix
Fixing it is pretty simple: open up your template_css.css file and add :a { outline: none; }
Note: forgive Andy for overlooking this
; he uses a Mac and for some reason the dotted outlines only appear in FF for Windows.
Note to mods: I put this here as it applies to any template, but feel free to move it elsewhere if you think it doesn't belong here. Also, please delete if this has already been addressed elsewhere. - Last Edit: 17 years 10 months ago by GollumX.

Do you know how to get rid of the save, print, email, openfolder that shows up over every image ? Probably its from windows itself, but maybe you guys know how to turn it off...

- support.microsoft.com/kb/318284 <<< see the second option here on how to turn that off for specific images. to turn it off for the whole page, you'll have to open up frontpage and follow the instructions provided, then check the page in code view. copy the changes you see to your RT templates

- Before everyone jumps on this, the outline is there for a reason, it's used for keyboard control for folks with disabilities. Turning it off can effectively render your site useless to them.

A good point there. Sad that only Firefox has this. Anyway, will the following work to just rid the rokzoom popup of the ugly outline?
