Hey Su, I got your back. I hope you don't mind me reposting your other
post.

Su's original posting:
Unfortunately, while I know my markup and CSS, I'm pretty much just far
enough into JS to mess around with existing code, but not often create
it *grin*
The stylesheet for Lightbox doesn't do anything to the focus property,
so the next possibility I see is that it looks like the next/prev links
are immediately being hidden as part of the imageswitching function. So,
maybe it's that they just get removed before there's a chance for the
outline to show? I haven't quite figured out yet whether or when you're
doing this in relation to the user clicking.
The important thing to remember, though, is that this isn't a case of
"Don't do it," but "Don't negate it."
The guideline is just that the focus should be indicated *somehow*. If
you don't like the default outline, you can change it to something else.
So, all that's really necessary is this:
#ImageBoxPrevImage:hover,
#ImageBoxPrevImage:focus
{
outline : none;
background-image: url(images/imagebox/prev_image.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left bottom;
}
...which gets rid of the outline, but still ensures that there is feedback.
(BTW: Focus rules should come after hover. I can't remember the
reasoning for it, and barely understood it then. It's just one of those
things.)

Does it do that thing with the line down the middle in FF on Mac?
I don't know if it ever got implemented, but I posted the solution to
this in the prior thread. (I'm on a limited paid hotel connection at the
moment or I'd spend more time digging for you.) The problem is that Fx
creates a dotted outline around links with focus(the :focus
pseudo-selector) This is done for accessibility reasons. If you want to
cancel it out, just add outline : none to the appropriate a:focus
selector(might have to add it) since the image used for the links
already provides visual feedback that something's happening and can take
place of the outline.
