Removing Twitter Bootstrap modal link outlines

Developers who use Twitter Bootstrap may have noticed a problem when they use the navigation controls to launch a modal. This could be a link at the top which launches a contact form for example. The problem is, that an outline to the link is left behind. I've seen a few 'solutions' to this on the web. None of which worked for me, because they were CSS solutions and the outline is created using JavaScript. So, here's what a link required to launch a modal looks like:
<a href="#myModal" data-toggle="modal">Launch modal</a>
And here is some coding for the modal:

<div id="myModal" class="modal hide fade" role="dialog">
<p>Hello</p>
<button class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
</div>
</div>
Now, at last is the solution. Because, JavaScript creates the problem, it's a good idea to use JavaScript (in my case jQuery) to resolve it. The code should look like this:

(function()
{
$('a').data('toggle','modal').click(function()
{
$(this).css(
{
'outline':'none'
});
});
})();
Good luck.

SIMPLE LAYOUT #38

This example makes use of the Google Font API, spacing shades of grey. It's not a bad starting position.

Use of textures for 1920s feel.

This is an example page in the style of the 1920s, I'm sure some would say art-deco. The main thing for me is the use of textures, appropriate images, borders and backgrounds.

Prettier navigation blocks Vertical

This is an effect used by designers to add a little texture to navigation block. It works horizontally just as well if you use border-left and border-right instead of border-top and border-bottom.
