The 'border' you are seeing is in fact an 'outline', and is an 
accessibility feature, very useful for people suing keyboards or 
similar input devices to navigate a page.

If it annoys you, you can disable it for your personal use by going 
into the preferences of your IE > Keyboard Accessibility.

You can also 'kill' that feature for others
a:focus {outline:none}
But I would **strongly** recommend against doing this.
