No dotted line around linked images
Learn something new everday! I just added the following to the css for this site:
a {
outline: none;
}
Which will remove that little dotted line you get when you click on a linked image. I just learned that from Deziner Folio.
I got to that site because I recently installed the Sphere plugin for Wordpress - (which I found out from reading Matt's blog) and Deziner Folio was one of the links that popped up from one of my css-related posts.
Incidentally, poking around there I also found a bunch of pre-made for-photoshop gradients and cool "badges" (starbursts, etc.) he was offering up free for the taking. As well as a really neat way to center a single div in the middle of the page using CSS.

Right, but now keyboard users have no way of knowing where they are in a page. And it doesn't work in IE. Oh well…

I can see it being an issue for those that are navigating websites with keyboard only - but it does work for me in IE on PC (both 6 and 7). Don't have a Mac so I can't test it there…

Or rather - I should say it works sometimes… Strange but sometimes I see it - sometimes I don't. No idea what causes it to be unpredictable… then again - who knows why IE does most of the things it does. Heh.

One more side note - in the comments section from Deziner Folio (where I got this from) someone posted a javascript that removes that dotted line supposedly for IE as well. However, I have to admit - that much code I'm not willing to add for a minor inconvenience but thought it was worth noting. (I have added a similar javascript, though, to sites that have flash embeded in them. That dotted line can really ruin the effect of a flash animation)

Too bad it doesn't work in IE!
I use something along the lines of onFocus="this.blur()" or something like that for the few locations that it's a problem.
