Dood,

You’re right, you shouldn’t completely hide the border, thats why I suggest that you use method two in my other posting.

However like I said if you would put an a:active or a:hover state on the link then keyboard users will be able to see a change when tabbing through.

Thanks for dropping in.

erm another thing to add to the list, DO NOT hide the dotted line around links, otherwise how do you expect users to navigate your site with only a keyboard?

I noticed one of your articles explains how to do this which leads me to believe you are one of those AOL kiddies / high school webmasters.

OH. A list… this looks familiar…HMMM

That last one is my huget pet peeve. I actually stumbled across a site where the guy boasted about writing the JS that would cause your screen to appear completely black (even over your dock/task bar) with only the ability to see your cursor. What a JERK.

that’s usability testing at its best!
