Border Around Links - Can it be Removed?

[BoardBoss]

Hi all - I am a longtime Joomla! user who is investigating Elxis for some sites. However, I noticed something right away that is a bit annoying, and wondered if this could be fixed.

I went to the demo site and when I click (not hover) on a menu item, I see a black dashed line border in a rectangular shape around the link. Also, if I click and start to drag the link, then release it, a smaller white dashed line border in a rectangular shape appears. Can anything be done to resolve this?

Thanks!

It is a css matter.

Hi - Okay, I suppose that is possible, although a bit unusual. At first glance, I don't see anything that could be contributing to it in CSS. Do you have any suggestions? I can't believe I am the first person to notice this.

this a defult behaviour of all browsers...

you can overide it if you apply in your css the property

outline:none;

PS..are you a longtime joomla user and you have not ever noticed  the outline effect ?

Hi - I know this is the default behavior of a browser; however, I have never seen this with any of the Joomla! templates I use. Of course, I don't use any of the default ones, so that may be why.

I used Firebug to play with theCSS a bit, and had already found an element (#top_menu) where I could put the outline:none; property to achieve the desired effect before I read your post. Thanks for the prompt reply though, that is encouraging.

As a suggestion, and this is probably not the proper forum for that, I would suggest adding this to the override to the default installation. After all, anything that improves appearance without sacrificing anything else is almost always a welcome addition.

Thanks again!
