Description
Hi
Firefox is still putting dotted outlines around click-able objects, such as the draggable handle in the slider. Can I sugest you add into the CSS:
.ui-slider .ui-slider-handle {position:absolute;z-index:2;width:1.2em;height:1.2em;cursor:default;outline:none}
to resolve this issue (outline:none).
Just a suggestion.
Cheers
G

This, and other accessibility hacks, should go into our big wontfix list.

Hi
Thanks for this. When I first saw these dotted outlines in Firefox, the only Google searches I found were how to remove them. Now you've said it is for accessibility reasons, I will remove my CSS to remove this feature, on all my sites, as I feel strongly about accessibility. Thanks for the heads up and you are perfectly right about not removing it.
Cheers
Glynn

I can add that. Can you think of any in particular that should mentioned other than resetting
outline?

Yes, I used to ask scott_gonzalez why we can't have a dialog option that prevents focus on dialog open.

I had adding this to the won't fix page on my list for awhile, but the more I think about it the more I don't think it belongs there. The rest of the list addresses things that don't work and why we're not going to fix them. Choices jQuery UI makes for a11y are not problems, people just don't understand the reasoning behind UI's choices.
I wrote a little something on this http://tjvantoll.com/2013/01/28/stop-messing-with-the-browsers-default-focus-outline/ and there's even a domain dedicated to this "problem" http://www.outlinenone.com/. I would say when requests of this sort come in the future we link there.

Dave recently suggested changing the won't fix page into an FAQ page which would give us a natural place to talk about this type of thing.
The outline is there for accessibility reasons and isn't something that we're going to remove. Chrome, IE, and probably the other browsers use an outline as well so this isn't something specific to Firefox.
