Can one turn off the link outline (the dashed line that outlines the link placed by the browser when one clicks on the link)?

a:active {text-decoration:none;}
should do it in most browsers.

a:active {text-decoration:none} does not affect the dotted link outline. This outline is not present in Netscape untill after the linked item is displayed. In Explorer, it immediately is displayed, messing up the visual of my mousedown button. Any other suggestions?

You are right!
I don't know how you can get rid of it, even border:none; doesn't work. I am curious to know if you've found a soluton.

Still don't know how to eliminate the dotted border around a link. But, I am experiencing another problem as follows.
The following script works well in Explorer, but the text does not change in Netscape. Any suggestions?
The styles are:
#news_text {color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; position: absolute; text-align: left; visibility: visible; width:340; padding-left:20px }
#calendar_text{color:black; font-family:arial; font-size:10pt; position: absolute; text-align:left; visibility:hidden; width:340; padding-left:20px }
The DHTML is
on_Mouse_Over="
news_text.style.visibility='hidden';
calendar_text.style.visibility='visible';"

ignore undescores

It's different for NN 4.x and Netscape 6.x. Have a look at - http://www.technofundo.com/tech/js/showhide.html
and see if it is of any help.
