html element on-click shading

[RipTide]

Is there a way to remove/turn off the shading that occurs on a click
on an html element?

I am writing a game that uses the canvas element, and it's very
distracting for the entire game to shade and then unshade every time
the screen is tapped. This does not occur on the OS X Safari, so it
is probably a visual aid to help people see what it is they are about
to click on, but makes no sense in the context of my game.

Thanks

this is just a guess - hopefully they use CSS for this - something
like a:active{} with border-radius and background color - so, you
might try overriding these - but like I said, just a guess, and they
may actually use the canvas for this

Always read Apple's docs -- all of them -- before venturing in using
any of their APIs. <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/
AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/AdjustingtheTextSize/
chapter_5_section_4.html>.

The gist of it is: -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0); is what
you want.

Thanks!  I for some reason couldn't find that through many searches.  I don't think I was looking for the right terminology... tap and highlight.
