This behaviour did not occur in older Mozilla versions, and does not appear in MS IE. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Goto http://www.altavista.com/ 2. Click and hold on the AltaVisa logo. 3. Keep mouse button held down, and move cursor off logo 4. A dotted "focus" box appears around the image Expected Results: The dotted rectangle should not appear CSS a:focus border:none has no effect, and the dotted rectangle does not appear to be removable.

For me, it does appear in IE. I'm testing with a beta of IE7 on http://www.altavista.com/. > CSS a:focus border:none has no effect, and the dotted rectangle does not > appear to be removable. Try turning off outlines (not borders) on the image child of a focused link (not the link itself). But why would you want to hide focus?

It seemed like a bug because behaviour had changed from earlier versions, but you're right, the bug was probably in the earlier versions. And again you are correct, the CSS required to remove the focus is: a:active, a:focus { outline:none; } I am sure this will work on all elements, including form submit as well.
