Remove Firefox’s Active Link Focus Outline
Firefox adds a dotted outline to any link that gets clicked, and it remains there until the new content loads. In most cases it doesn’t really matter, but for designers it has always been a bit of a nuisance. It is even more of a problem if you’re using JavaScript triggered by a traditional link to make something happen on the page. In that case the outline will just hang out until another link gets clicked, and so on.
It’s easy enough to remove altogether with a bit of CSS that I found on a blog called Keep the Web Weird, and I’ll be adding this to my browser reset CSS files from now on:
*:focus {
outline: none;
}
I had never heard of the “outline” property so I ran it through the validator and sure enough it’s valid CSS!

Locust Street Taxi site live!
I’m proud to announce that the design made and developed by Say This, Say That! for Locust Street Taxi, is now officially up and live!
http://www.locuststreettaxi.com
Locust Street Taxi is a Pacific Northwest band. They deliver an infectiously fun and energetic live show the likes of which no musicologist or behavioral scientist would dare to analyze!
The site is built on WordPress and gives them the ability to update the site dynamically, as well as blog about their band. Hopefully their fans enjoy the new site and good luck to the band in the future!
