Is there a way i can add

onFocus="if(this.blur)this.blur()"

to my css so that all links don't show that dumb box?

its not for accessibility? :-PYes, that box is for accessibility and yes it is easily removed by JavaScript. However, God is just and justice requires that anybody who defeats an accessibility feature falls victum to a disability at least as annoying.

99.999999999999999999% of users won't notice the focus box you speak of. In fact, many want it there so they know that's where the system focus is. If you make your page deviate from its expected behavior, you're going to drive users away. It's bad accessibility, it's bad usability and it's bad design. basically, it's bad anything-ility.
