How Do I Deselect The Button?

[chestertb]

I have a page that uses images as buttons... nothing special about that.

When I click an image, it simply changes a number of other images on the page. That part all works just fine.

Except...
When you click an image that is a button, the browser draws a dotted border around the button area, and leaves it there until the user clicks elsewhere on the page.

At the moment, the Javascript function is called from href as follows...

<a href="javascript:select('x')".......

and select() loads images, calculates where to put them, draws them, turns others off etc.

Is there a way to turn the dotted button area border off after the function executed?

Thanks

You can't stop the border appearing, but you might be able to lose it be calling
this.blur()
after the other actions.
Hope this helps

Thanks... works a treat in Netscape, but in MSIE, it pushes the IE window into the background.

I'm sure that's just a syntax problem, so I'll look in that direction.

Thanks for the help.

Always happy to help! ;)

You might be able to stop the IE window disappearing by instead of calling this, call the absolute path eg.
document.images[3].blur()
You would need to change this for all the different images, and remember, image indexing begins at 0.
