FireFox 3.6 draws one-pixel border.

Saturday, January 30th, 2010 by Luis

FireFox 3.6 draws one-pixel border aorund embedded SWF (also occurs with Java Applets) where the width and height is set to 100%, causing pointless scrollbars to appear.

It seems to be a side effect of fixed usability problem which makes old bugs to appear.

Solution 1:

In about:config:

Set browser.display.focusringonanything to true and set browser.display.focusring_width to 0

Solution 2:

Paste this in your css/stylesheet:

a:focus, object:focus { outline: none; -moz-outline-style: none; }

Thanks Thomas for the info.

Costa Navarino is live!

After almost a year in development, we finally went live with www.costanavarino.com, and immediately got ‘Site of the day’ in www.thefwa.com.

We have been working on the branding of this prime holiday destination since 2 years now, arguably the biggest branding exercise Less Rain had ever gone through. To this end we have enlisted the help of our friends at Praline

The website aims to collect information from all areas of knowledge related to Costa Navarino - history, flora, fauna, traditions, food - and prepare the visitor for the wealth of experience Costa Navarino has to offer.

The site has been built in a totally dynamic way, with full screen content and a variety of AS3 animations connecting all pages and interface elements in a seamless fashion. It features a computational soundtrack, using a small number of samples to construct 25 different sound scapes, saving a great deal of download time.
