IE adds a black border to the <input type="submit>/<button
type="submit"></button> button when the form gets focus.
Remove your style and script and click on your form you should see
it, or change your border color to red and it will show up just as
well.
If you replace your input submit with a button submit the border
change will not draw much attention.

All my humor is based upon destruction and despair. If the whole
world was tranquil, without disease and violence, I'd be standing on
the breadline right in back of J. Edgar Hoover.
