| The `outline` CSS property provides visual indicators as to which element is | |
| currently selected within a web page. These are the dotted lines you see | |
| surrounding links, etc. when you tab to them using the keyboard. | |
|  | |
| These indicators are important for users navigating without a mouse (such as | |
| those with visual or mobility impairments). Setting `outline` style to `"none"` | |
| or `0` removes these indicators, leaving these users without any way to tell | |
| where they are within the page, therefore making the page inaccessible. | |
| Caveat: `outline` is not the *only* way to emphasize selected elements. You may | |
| instead choose to change the background color, add an underline, or otherwise | |
| make them visually distinct. Learn more & get alternative suggestions at | |
