Strange box around inactive link in menu navigation

Recommended Posts

Site URL: https://okra-violet-ld63.squarespace.com

Please see screenshots attached. For some reason I can't recreate this problem on my browser (Safari, MacOS) but another colleague can (also Safari, MacOS).

When the Services link is pressed by a user a rectangle box shape forms around it.

I don't know why this is so. I didn't design this into the styles or layout and my client does not want it there.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you.

Your site is private so we can't help much. I suspect you are seeing an assistive technology feature.

Please set up a site-wide password, if you've not already done so.

Post the password here.

Adding a site-wide password does not allow anyone to alter your site. It only allows those with the password to see your site. Please read the documentation at the link provided to understand how it works.

Please read the documentation at the link provided on how to share a link to your site to understand how it works. A link to the backend of the your site won’t work for us, i.e. a url that contains /config/.

We can then take a look at your issue.

Hi Creedon, I think you might be spot on about it being an assistive technology.

Sorry about the password! Didn't realise the site was set to private. 

The password is 'Lovers22'.

Thank you for your help.

It is not what I think of as assistive technology, as in something that was set or added to the browser.

There are some CSS rulesets that Safari is interpreting to create this effect. I assume the difference between the two Safari's is probably due to versions.

Add the following to Design > Custom CSS.

a:focus {

  outline : none;
  
  }

This is for v7.1.

You can remove this effect but you may want to consider that the code is there for a reason and some Safari users may be used to this effect to help them navigate sites.

Aaah. Thanks so much! I will explain that to the client and see if they want to implement that code. As you say, it might there for a reason.
