[Pro] Unwanted Blue Box around a Hyperlink

Freeway
1

On the above page on “Click Here To Get 20% Off …” an unwanted blue box appears when clicking the link.

Also when clicking the back button the blue box still shows in Safari in particular.

Any suggestions?

Yeah, leave it.

I know it’s ugly but it’s a required accessibility feature, and also default browser behavior.

There are some so-called workarounds (Google it), but the ones I’ve seen seem iffy.

If you must remove it then the nuclear option is,

:focus {outline: none};

or

:focus {outline: 0};

But don’t say you weren’t warned.

First, RTFM. Then ask.

Any suggestions?

Hi Todd

Thank you for that . I’m not a coder so I don’t rally want to mess with the code here. Is there any other way of doing this?

I’ve been bothered by the blue box myself. If you look in the archives of freewa talk, you’ll see many posts on the issue. In the end, after researching it, I decided to leave it as Todd suggested. It still bugs me, but I know this is important for the visually impaired people using our websites. I’m not aware of a simple way to get rid of it, and there are good reasons to leave it, in my opinion.
