Removing the dotted outline on links

Whilst it’s not usually an issue, sometimes the dotted outline that is applied to links in their active state [e.g. the point when they're clicked] looks visually untidy – especially if you’re also using lots of padding or text-indent tricks to hide HTML text. The following article about removing the dotted outline is a great summary of how to overwrite this behaviour whilst also maintaining accessibility [a key reason for the active state in the first place].
