Removing the focus (dotted line around the checkbox) when...

[BTHOMASinOHIO]

I have a datagrid inwhich I wanted some Roles to be able to change and
postback while others would not see a change. Instead of using the
enabled/disabled, because I didn't like the shading out of the
checkbox, they are kept enabled, but depend on the Role, the Post back
is turned Off/On and an attribute on the Clicked event is added to
keep (or not keep) the box checked.

(MY CODE)
Dim myaccess As String = Session.Item("ProviderLoginId")
If Session.Item("ROLE") = XYZ Then
CheckBoxStatus.AutoPostBack = False
CheckBoxStatus.Attributes.Add
("onClick", CheckBoxStatus.ClientID + ".checked =
!"+CheckBoxStatus.ClientID + ".checked;")
Else
CheckBoxStatus.AutoPostBack = True
End If


This all works great, accept when the checkbox is clicked, the
checkbox gets "focus" with a thin dotted box around it.

How can I turn that attribute off?
What is it called? Focus?

Thanks

Hi

You can also use this :

<input type=chekcbox onfocus="this.blur()">

this will remove focus from the checkbox when focus is given.
