Annoying dotted lines in browser

Hi All,
I am using a Dreamweaver HTML layout with links using an unordered list styled with CSS.  When I click on the link a yellow dotted line surrounds the box containing the link in both Firefox and IE.  How can I get rid of the yellow dotted line?
Thanks!
Randy

How can I get rid of the yellow dotted line?    
Outlines on links are there for web accessibility reasons.
Preview your page and use the tab key to scroll through links.  If you remove link outlines, people who cannot use a mouse will have a very difficult time understanding which  links they are on.

  • When browsing a new library that I created, the browser shows dotted lines around grey rectangles, no images. When I double click on a rectangle the image appears. How do I get images to appear in the browser rectangles?

    When browsing a new library that I created and exported onto an external hard drive, the browser shows dotted lines around grey rectangles, no images. When I double click on a rectangle, the image appears, but all the other rectangles remain empty - no image. How do I get images to appear in the browser rectangles? I am viewing this on a second computer (an older intel duo iMac), not the one I created the library on (a MacBook Pro). Both computers have Aperture 3.2.4 installed. When I return the external to the MacBook, all images appear in browser rectangles. What's happening on the iMac?

    You may have a problem with the permissions on your external volume. Probably you are not the owner of your library on the second mac.
    If you have not already done so, set the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag on your external volume. To do this, select the volume in the Finder and use the Finder command "File > Get Info" (or ⌘I).
    In the "Get Info" panel disclose the "Sharing & Permissions" brick, open the padlock, and enable the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag. You will have to authentificate as administrator to do this.
    Then run the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" on this library and repair the permissions. To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the ⌥⌘-key combination while you double click your Aperture Library. Select "Repair Permissions" and run the repair; then repeat with "Repair Database". Do this on the omputer where you created the library and where you can see the thumbnails.
    Then check, if you now are able to read the library properly on your iMac.

  • Annoying dotted border around flash objects...

    Hey. In the past few months I've noticed every time I have a
    flash object on my browser, it's surrounded by a dotted border that
    causes me to have to first press on the flash object - and only
    then be able to use it.
    So, for example, if the flash object is a
    menu, I first have to click inside the flash object, and
    then the border goes off and the flash is "activated".
    Does anyone have any idea what causes this and how can I make
    it go away?
    Thank you! :)

    > I was referring to this annoying dotted box I got around
    the flash before
    > I
    > could use it.
    That's what we have been talking about .. all due to the
    stupid greed EOLAS
    and its patent .. there's been hundreds and thousands of post
    and web
    sites.

  • Missing photo has dotted line border

    missing photo has dotted line border

    What is it, that you see or don't see? Empty rectangles surrounded by a dashed border like marching ants? In the browser or the viewer?
    If you do not see the images in the browser, then you have a problem with your thumbnails, not your previews. Try to select all of the empty rectangles and select (from the main menu bar)
         Photos > Generate Thumbnails.
    If you want to recreate your Previews, in case they do not show properly in the Browser, hold down the options-key while you select "Update Previews".

  • Make the highlight bold when tabbing through items on page instead of tiny faint dotted line

    When you tab around within a page (i.e. with the Tab key) and things such as links get highlighted they are only indicated with an extremely thin faint dotted line. Is there a way to make the highlighting more prominent such as a thicker line or light shading of the boxed-in area?
    I don't even know what words to use for this in order to search for an add-on. What do you call it when you click on Tab to move the selection from one item on a page to the next? Highlighting? I don't think it's the cursor because the cursor is for typing words, right? I'm not talking about switching from one page or FF tab to another. I'm talking about when you move the selection (??) from one link to the next within a single page and then you can hit Enter which is like clicking on the highlighted link.

    You can set the browser.display.focus_ring_width pref to a higher value (default is 1) on the <b>about:config</b> page.

  • Red dotted line appear on the screen

    There is a red dotted horizontal line will occasionally appear on the playbook's screen while I'm browse the web. It will stay there for from seconds to minutes. That only appear with the browser app and happen once on the Pictures app. Seems like a software problems? Or hardware( stuck pixies)?
    Anyone gets clue about what is this thing about?
    Updated: Just found out there are blue dotted line as well.

    Hi Byron,
    I am creating an application that could possibly identify and fix your issue. Based on the pictures, it could be one of three things
    Dead Pixels
    Misbehaving Pixels
    Hardware/Screen defect
    The app will try to solve 1 & 2 by cycling through all the pixels using an algorithm I made. Hopefully this will fix.
    Cheers

  • I've got dotted lines round my flash objects

    Hello - if anyone could help me with something, I'd be
    eternally grateful!
    I'm building a website with Dreamweaver, and it's got several
    flash elements, like buttons and pictures.
    When I preview the site on my BT browser, everything looks
    great - but when I preview it on my IE browser, it's a mess.
    When I hover over a flash element, a box of dotted lines
    appears around the flash object, and the words "click to activate
    and use the control" appear.
    When I then click on the object, the box disappears, and I
    can then use the buttons etc.
    My dreamweaver site is made with tables. The dotted-line box
    surrounds the CELL that the flash object is in, rather than the
    flash object itself.
    I've no idea what this is, or why it only happens in my IE
    browser and not my BT one. If anyone can give me some pointers, I'd
    be very grateful. At this rate, I'm going to be at my PC all
    Christmas Day!
    Thanks in advance

    From an identical question in this forum about 12 hours
    ago...
    It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
    earlier this
    year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,
    Quicktime etc)
    is handled, after losing a high profile court case.
    http://blog.deconcept.com/2005/12/15/internet-explorer-eolas-changes-and-the-flash-plugin/
    Background:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eolas
    See also
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/
    If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2, the fix is already built
    into DW's
    interface.
    If not, try
    http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
    Using the <embed> tag in the HTML code to "embed" the
    Flash file in the page
    (which used to be the normal way of doing it) triggers the
    new IE behaviour.
    The 8.0.2 updater calls the same Flash file via Javascript
    instead so the
    new IE behaviour is not triggered..
    Once the updater has been applied you upload the changed HTML
    page PLUS the
    new Scripts folder, containing a Javascript file, which has
    just been
    created by the 8.0.2 updater.
    Note: DW 8.0.2 does not tell you anything about the existence
    of, and need
    to upload, the new Scripts folder that it has just created.
    You're just
    expected to know (or find out). Lazy programming by Adobe.

  • Red Dotted Lines in Forms

    Greetings!
    How can I get rid of the annoying red dotted lines which appear in HTML Forms?
    This "feature" appeared in Safari 3.0.4 just after installing it along with OS X 10.4.11 Update.
    Thanks in advance for any tip!

    Yes, of course !
    Excuse me, I thought it was obvious...

  • The logos on some of my bookmarks are now blank squares witha dotted line around them

    I updated Firefox and now the logos on some of my bookmarks and tabs are blank, dotted line squares.

    If you go to the site, do they actually have a favicon, or did you create them in you bookmarks with the help of an extension because you didn't like non descriptive bookmark icons and folder icons.
    Did you lose them in the bookmarks sidebar("Ctrl+B")
    On the toolbar for the Bookmarks toolbar, I display only text and try to key most of them to 1-2 letters (or 1 non-letter character) for those that appear directly on the toolbar. Most are in folders there.

    I had just answered this elsewhere 1/2 hour ago but couldn't find it.
    The was another answer there that suggested to Restart Firefox, good but you had them for a long time so I hadn't mentioned it.
    You basically have to use them again sometimes, but I've not seen them disappear. Since they are stored both as a bitmap and reference to the web page favicon it seems that they would not be deleted.
    I don't really have total recall that I could remember exact working and retype consistently -- but I do have and extension to help me when this site drops what I typed if I go to another page using same tab and come back. I could have searched on content or title (or mess it up again trying and restore like I just did again for the second time).

  • Dotted line around image frame in active state mode.

    In my active state, I have the button set to open in a new window once it's clicked on, which it does. But when I go back to the page, there is a dotted line around the image frame that doesn't go away. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi
    I believe you are using Firefox to view the site, as this occurs only on firefox.
    This is a known issue on their end as the selection for page object remains when we return to page.
    The details can be found on this link :
    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Page_Inspector
    where it is mentioned that they would be taking this off from Firefox 29 onwards.
    From Muse we cannot control this as its a browser specific selector function.
    Thanks,

  • How do I get rid of the dotted line on right side of bounding box

    Ever since I upgraded to CS5, I seem to have a broken dotted line along the right side of the bounding box of the png logo that was created for my company.  It wasn't there before. I've gone back to my original back up of the logo and this broken line is in all the versions now.
    Whenever I use the artwork a single dash/dotted line is left on the far right, where the right vertical line of the bounding box would have been. You can see it in the image below on the right.  Its a faint white line but when printed on a banner its stark white.  The line falls just above the last "A" in Alberta.
    I can use Illustrator and Photoshop basics and but have trouble when I get into problems like this.
    Can anyone help me figure out why its there and how to get rid of it?
    I would appreciate any help!
    Thanks.

    Wade and Monica,
    Thanks for your help.
    Wade, it hit me when you asked "why is it a png" file and I realized that I was using the wrong file.  Sometimes its hard to see the forest for the trees!  Problem for banner artwork fixed and I have now used the correct logo file so no more dotted line.
    The dotted line only appears on the the png version of the logo.  There's no coloured background on the logo file.  She gave me the file as both an eps and a png file. I'm pretty sure she created the logo in Illustrator.  I've been using the png file for the website, which is what I thought it worked well for.  And the eps one for my print materials.
    I have no clue why I grabbed the png instead of the eps logo file I usually use, but thanks for pointing out the obvious since I wasted time trying to fix it and was getting very frustrated at what had suddenly gone "wrong".
    I still have that dotted line on the png file of the logo but I'll have to figure that out another day.
    Thanks again!

  • Acrobat X: Option to hide the dotted line in between pages when viewing in 2 page view?

    Acrobat X: Anyone know if there is an option to hide the dotted line in between pages when viewing in 2 page view?  So that the 2 pages can look seemlessly joined, with no gap and no dotted line?  This would be useful when viewing PDF magazines or books in which 2 pages join for a larger picture.

    Create a Page 0 item which will be available on all pages.OMG yes I can use items in page 0 ! I should have think of that :/ Shame on me.
    Application item values can be set from JavaScript using AJAX and an On-Demand Process.Yes I already tried ajax with ODP, my getappitem() function works but my setappitem() function won't assign value to application item, but it's not a problem now, I removed the ajax part and I will use page items :D
    Thank you fac586.

  • How do I make a dotted line in Illustrator?

    I've figured out how to make a dashed line (under Stroke), but how do I make a dotted line? Little round circles, one after the other that I can resize, turn into a circle, stick to a path?
    Thanks

    The string of pearls was done on CS2
    The orange "pearls" had a stroke weight of 40 pt, Dash 0, Gap 42 and a new black stroke behind with a weight of 42 pt.
    Then the stroke was copied, coloured just white and moved a bit to make the white "highlights". Weight 10 pt, Dash 0, Gap 42.
    I suppose, if one could be bothered, it would be possible to make a string of pearls with alternating big and small pearls by using a combination of dash settings on New Strokes. Should work all right as long as the Dash is a constant or an exact multiple. I can't be bothered!
    I don't understand that bit about having the last gap as 0. The pearls came out fine with just one setting for the dash and one for the gap. The other boxes weren't filled in.
