Turning off dotted lines in Firefox

Came across a small problem in Firefox last week. I had a list and was using ‘text-indent: -5000px’ in the css to do some image replacement.

It’s a bit weird because it made the list element quite wide so when you clicked the dotted lines that show where are clicking seemed to stretch all the way across the page.

Anyway to fix it first of all I found Fixing the Fox - which is handy to know but didn’t really fix my problem.

Then I found Outline property for image-replaced links which shows how to fix the problem easily by adding ‘overflow: hidden;’ to the selector that contains the indent. Read the article to get a better explanation of what is going.
