how do I makes this go away - your help is much appreciated
Thanks

As Ned said, you can remove the outline with CSS but it's a web accessibility feature. If you click somewhere else on the page the outline will go away.
The Active Link's Focus state had a dotted border or outline to show people where they are on the page.  This is especially useful for people who must use their keyboard tab key to work through links.  As you know, many devices don't support a mouse and some people just can't use them.
So remove the outline if you think you should but be ever mindful of any web accessibility features you disable.  Some people might need them.

  • Please help. How can I get rid of this red dotted border around my navigation bar images?

    If you go to my site here...
    http://metalwolf92.zymichost.com/
    And left-click and hold down your mouse, but don't release, on any of the navigation button images. Notice the red dotted border? How can I get rid of those?
    All images already have border set to 0.

    I just noticed your page has no css. so in Code View, replace this closing tag:
    </head>
    with this:
    <style type="text/css">
    a:active {
      outline: none;
    </style>
    </head>

  • Change state of the button after clicking

    Hi,
    I've got following problem - I have navigation tollbar that
    consits of buttons. The buttons correspond to different pages of a
    content that is shown in Loader. I want the button I've just
    clicked to chage its state - so the button has to be highlighted in
    order to show which page is currently being viewed.
    How can I change the appearance of the button after clicking
    it? There'restates like Up, Over, Down, Hit but if I add one more
    keyframe and than make button.gotoAndPlay(5) while clicking the
    button, nothing happens.
    Thank you in advance,
    Yuri

    Instead of actual button, use Movie Clips with multiple
    frames and simply send it
    to a frame which simulated DOWN state once pressed.

  • Change Behaviour of the 4 Browse / Navigation Buttons

    Hi!,
    In documents, Iam using a new series each period/month for each type of documents, for example for a quote document in october, the series was named 200810 , for november, the series was named 200811 and so on. So each time a new period/month pases, my DocNum, starts again from 1. This gives me great control in my numbering system, but I get an inconvinience when using the 4 browse/navigation buttons, becuase If I click the last record button, it gives me the document with the biggest DocNum. Not the actual last record.
    Please Help!
    Thank you!

    Please note: when you get something very convenient, chances are you are also get some by-products that may not be that convenient.
    Unfortunately, you have to type in the number to find if this number is not in the current series selection.  Another way will be making sure the number series is the right one to get the max number for that series.  In another word, you can only have one last record which will match your current series selection.
    Thanks,
    Gordon

  • How to properly disable a button after click or can an event disable itself?

    Can I disable  MouseEvent.CLICK after I clicked it?
    I am relatively new to coding and it seems to me as a mistake that an event will disable itself?
    Is it ok or is it prone to some mistakes?
    mainNav_buttonsGroup_mc.Products_btn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_Products_btn);
              function onClick_Products_btn(event:MouseEvent) :void {
                        gotoAndPlay("products");
                        mainNav_buttonsGroup_mc.Products_btn_mc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_Products_btn);
      Products_btn_timeLine.play();
    The idea is that I want to disable a button after it is clicked.

    The approach will work.  The event is not disabling itself.  The event is the occurence of the CLICK interaction.  The event listener is designated to detect that happening.  The event handler function for that listener is disabling the event listener.

  • Flash content has dotted border after upgrading to Firefox 6.

    Since upgrading to Firefox 6 (now 6.0.2), interaction (ie: using buttons) with Flash content creates a dotted border around the movie. This does not occur with Google Chrome, Safari, or even Opera. Normally, this flash-based version of my site requires no CSS, but I did try to link the page to a stylesheet with the tag { outline: none; } , but this had no effect. I also restarted Firefox in safe mode, but the problem persists.

    Flash does not appear in the plugins list. It works fine in other browsers. /Library/Internet plug-ins/Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt exist. I can't find the flash plugin elsewhere (profile/plugins, in the App package)
    I created a new profile to test if the profile was at fault. The plugin still did not load. Firefox finds the plugin but in [profile]/pluginreg.dat it adds it under [INVALID]:
    [INVALID]
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin:$
    1315562441000:$
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/flashplayer.xpt:$

  • Why do all the unused icons appear in a box on the navigation bar after I download a file?

    Since the last Firefox upgrade last week a large box of all the unused icons appears on the navigation bar after I download a file. If I click on this box, the previous download information appears. The icons in the box aren't useable. This box doesn't appear when I first open Firefox. The box is so big it crowds out the other items in the navigation bar. Any ideas?

    This issue is caused by a broken extension that isn't working properly and that doesn't support the current Firefox release.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    Sorry, possibly you need a new hard drive or try reformating. First
    you can try something like http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/  it has been known to repair disk that DiskUtility could not. YMMV and they don't give it away.
    If Disk Warrior can not repair then you need to Reformate the drive. Make sure you have a back-up in place no matter what.

  • Navigation buttons became white after update to Firefox 13 (or 14)

    2 months ago I've seen the navigation buttons have changed, so I thought this change was applied for everyone.
    But I see more and more users that still have the old style and honestly? I want it back :)
    (When I say "old style" I refer to [http://www.stephenhorlander.com/images/blog-posts/windows-theme-i03-app-button/Fx-4.0-Mockup-Win7-i03-AppButton-ToB.png this].

    Meh, weird.
    I've restarted to safe mode, the icons are still white but with a change: the size of the back & forward returned to default size.
    Plus I've found a bug on the way.
    If you restart in safe mode (with this annoying white theme [oh and btw, I have only one theme and it is the default one]), enter a page, enter another one in the same tab and go back, there will be a space after the back button. Perhaps this happens only in a RTL version of Firefox, not sure.
    2 pictures attached for a better explanation.
    Thanks for the quick respond and help, much appreciated.
    '''Edit:''' damn, Firefox is super fast in safe mode (and with 80+- tabs) 0.0

  • "Border" appears when I click on a button

    Hello,
    I'm creating a rollover button graphic to open a friend's
    webpage. His logo is a circle; I am creating a rollover effect that
    depresses the circle when you rollover and click.
    Here's the strange problem, and this has come up before: when
    you click on the button in Firefox, a "border" appears where I
    created a slice. This doesn't happen in Safari. It's a bit
    disconcerting, as it takes away from the effect.
    I'm sure there's a simple fix. Any ideas? Thank you in
    advance.

    That's actually an accessibility feature built into the
    browsers. It
    appears in IE as well as Firefox. You can override it, but
    that's not
    recommended.

  • Hardware navigation buttons dark after Denim updat...

    After the recent Denim Update, the hardware navigation buttons on my Lumia 930 no longer light up. I tried all combinations of brightness and battery saver settings but to no avail. Also a soft reset didn't help.
    It's unlikely a hardware issue because the button lighting was fine until right before the update. Also, the ambient light sensor seems to be OK, because the display brightness still changes when the lighting conditions change.
    Anyone else having this problem? I found quite a few similar reports in German forums, BTW.
    OS Version: 8.10.14219.341
    Firmware Version: 02540.00019.14484.37006
    Hardware Version: 2.0.0.2

    Hi everyone,
    Thanks for sharing this with us. Since you mentioned that this started to happen after the Lumia Denim update, let's try performing some troubleshooting steps to further isolate the issue. Have you tried rebooting your phones?
    For Nokia Lumia 625 / 625H / 530 / 530 Dual SIM / 630 / 630 Dual SIM / 635 / 636 / 930 / 1320 / 1520: Press and hold the power key for about 10 seconds. The phone restarts.
    If the issue remains, you can reset the phone by going to Settings > about > reset your phone. As this will delete all your stored files, we recommend creating a backup file: Back up my stuff. Keep us posted with the outcome.

  • Navigation Buttons in Viewer not working after upgrade

    We recently upgraded to CR XI R2. When our reports come up in our viewer, the navigation buttons aren't working properly. We can move forward to page to, but can't move beyond that. We can hit the last button and get to the last page and we can type in page 3, for example, and page 3 comes up.But we can't move forward from page 2 with the next button on any of our reports.

    Some basic information is missing here and if me suggestions do not help you in resolving the issue, please add this info:
    Have you applied any SPs to your CR install?
    What development language are you using?
    Is this happening in a win or web app?
    The latest SP for CR XI r2 can be downloaded from [here|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100013876392008E/crxir2win_sp5.exe]. Apply that and test. If that does not help, I would like you to try this with one of our sample apps.
    Win apps are here:

  • Menu navigation buttons do not appear when viewing page on iPhone

    My webpage shows the menu navigation buttons on all browsers and platforms but when viewing on an iPhone they are not there. Hence you cannot view other pages. Is this a restriction of pages created in iWeb or am I doing something wrong?
    I have trawled through the discussion forum and tried tips such as the height of the menu bar from the top on the page, pixel width and making sure the menu box is at the front or brought forward.
    my website is www.sussexgolfcaptains.org

    This may or may not be of interest, but some site builders (such as weebly.com) are mobile friendly — click here:

    Also, unlike sites made with iWeb, Weebly sites respond to desktop Safari's +View > Zoom In+ command — this is helpful for many who don't have perfect eyesight for reading small text. (iWeb's default font sizes are relatively small.)
