Have you ever been stuck trying to surf the web without a pointing device? It can be kind of a pain, especially if the webmaster has thrown usability into the wind. I constantly come across sites where they have removed the style from links. What happens when they do?

If they remove the style, you can’t browse their page. Click the tab button a few times while visiting my site. Notice the links getting highlighted? Without that simple little box highlighting wear I am, the site might as well be a screen shot if you have no pointer.

So how do you do it? Just add this bit of code to your style sheet, and you are up and running again.

:focus { outline: 1;}

There are a ton different methods to access the net now a days, and many of them don’t include a pointing device. Regardless of that, how many of you have a laptop where the touchpad works like crap?

Forgot how to browse the web without a pointing device?

• [Tab] scrolls you forward through the links
• [Shift + Tab] scrolls you backwards through the links
• [Spacebar or Enter] is for clicking a form option
• [Enter] to submit
• And for you Firefox users just click [ ' ] single quote, and it will bring up the find bar at the bottom.
