Hi Nancy, the reason for the black outline around the submit button in IE6 and 7 is that IE renders the buttons with the system API, and if you view each Windows interface, the default button that fires the click event with the enter too is outlined black.
I think that It would not be at any accessible to make the submit button ( <input type="submit" ) with a (<input type="button" ) because you have the issue of how you make the submit? Via Javascript? And if Javascript is disabled?
