onfocus="this.blur()" removes active link colour

[tacbob]

When I use onfocus="this.blur()" in the link on my page to prevent the dotted lines appearing around the text link, it stops the Active Link colour being displayed. The Active Link colour is determined in a CSS.

Any ideas,
Thanks

it shouldn't be done like that. It should be [ onfocus="blur()" ]. Why? Because the default blur() object is your link.
