What browser and OS are you using?

All looks fine for me here on WinXP and IE7.

firefox and many browsers tend to but that rectangle around links. just click on any link in this page and you'll see the same effect. i don't think there is any way to remove it... it's the sort of thing people don't notice but when they eventually do will drive them crazy :P

You CAN remove the ring using Firefox/Mozilla. Go to about:config in the address bar and filter the word "focus" Change the value for "browser.display.focus_ring_width" to 0 and make sure the value for "browser.display.focus_ring_on_anything" is false. That should take care of it...

Just years of using Firefox...combined with the knowledge that the dotted rectangle in question is called a focus ring.
