I was going to apply the CSS style rule {outline:none} but I read in an article that
its better for accessability purposes not to do this.

Users who cant operate a mouse rely on the outline feature to navigate using the TAB key.

I was wondering what others thought about this and other accessability issues.

To what extent do you compromise functionality or appearance in order to meet accessability requirements?

Personally, I prefer both content quality and accessibility over polish.

I saw benbacardis post in another category about
accessability so I thought I`d post his link here for posterity.
Fortunately I seem to be doing most of the things on the list already.

I especially liked the comments re CAPTCHA (my pet hate).
(Watch this if you're not sure why )

Its worth quoting from the PDF document:

"Avoid CAPTCHAs unless you have no other choice, and even then
they should be avoided."

I have to concur. That little outline stays, unless a client asks for it to be removed, and then I remind them of accessibility issues.
