outline around hotspot / slice

[ian]

This might be a bit of a basic question - sorry if it is.

Is there any way of preventing the dotted line appearing around the edge of a hotspot or slice when it is clicked?

I have developed a button using Fireworks which signifies its down state with a coloured line appearing around its edge. Unfortunately in runtime the coloured line is obscured by the dotted line around the slice.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

most new web browsers add the dotted lines as a visual confimation to users as to which link they just clicked on.

from your description, this is what sounds like is happening and, unfortunately, i don't believe there is any way to get rid of it.

You could remove focus from the element when it is clicked, using something like onclick="this.blur()", but that can cause accessibility problems.

OK, thanks anyway. I guess I'll just have to redesign the button.
