I believe it's "outline"

So

Selector {
Ouline:0;
}

Or possibly

Ouline:none;

Thanks, Jon --  there's no way I would have discovered that on my own (despite 
having Meyer's CSS-Definitive Guide on hand)!

Your suggestion works in Firefox, but not in IE6.  I've tried many variants -- 
"a {outline-style: none;}" through to "a:hover {outline-width: 0;}", but IE6 
ignores them all!     Is there no way to suppress this in IE?

Thanks again.

- Michael
