Remove IE Link Scrubber by PVII
While it is aesthetically pleasing to remove the dotted border outline (focus rectangle) from links in Internet Explorer, this also has an accessibility impact in that it prevents the use of the tab key to navigate from one link to the next. This command will allow you to automatically remove any previous "Scrubber" code that is on the page.

The Scrubber code is attached to either the <a> tag or <area> tag on the onClick or onFocus events. The code would look like this:
"if(this.blur)this.blur()"
The Remove IE Link Scrubber command is designed to scan your page for all occurrences of the scrubber code attached to any <a> or <area> tags and quickly remove them so as to restore normal accessibility functionality.
