		<description>N0 - there are accessibility issues with removing the focus from active links - you have to be really careful. This technique can  strand a screen reader user, who often navigate through a page by hopping from link to link. Blurring will cause the screen reader to loose its place on the screen - and the screen reader user will have to start navigating the page all over again.

It&#039;s really annoying - as being primarily a visual artist, those dotted lines are very ugly - but until I can loose them without loosing focus and risk compromising accessibility, I don&#039;t feel I can use this method.</description>

		<description>i have been fighting a this.blur issue with firefox that would cause another open window of firefox to come to the front when i even got near a js &quot;a&quot; item containing it.

your code at top of page eliminated the need for this.blur() completely...

thank you, thank you, thank you!!!</description>

		<description>I use the link blurring on DHTML elements which shouldn&#039;t have the nasty box around due to their use as controls on various dynamic components. 

&lt;strong&gt;Example as jQ plugin:&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;code&gt;
$.fn.nb = function() {
	return this.focus(function(){
		this.blur()
	});
}
&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Use:&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;code&gt;
$(&#039;a.noblur&#039;).nb();
&lt;/code&gt;</description>

		<description>If you don&#039;t want to see the focus outline, period - use this instead:

&lt;code&gt;
 $(&#039;a&#039;).focus(function() {
    this.blur();
 });
&lt;/code&gt;</description>
