image map outline - can this be removed?

After creating an image map with an onClick behavior to show/hide a layer, the
image map leaves a blue outline after clicked on.

The image map is an irregular shape with 6 points. Clicking on the image map
shows a layer but also reveals the outline of the image map. Needless to say,
this ruins the magic!

How can I turn off this outline or remove it?

Thanks for any suggestions!

If you are talking about Internet Explorer, you might try using
onfocus="if(this.blur)this.blur();" The blur gets rid of the outline.

Teague's book site on DHTML and CSS (Chapter 18 "Creating Image Rollovers with
CSS") Here is where it is. http://www.webbedenvironments.com/dhtml/ Then choose
