You can override the browser's default style as described in this MDC article.

Basic example:

:focus {
    background-color: #aaa;
    outline: 1px solid red;
}

The :focus selector works in every browser you could expect, except IE 6 and 7.^1,2

You can create a CSS rule using the :focus pseudo-class:

The :focus pseudo-class applies while an element has the focus (accepts keyboard events or other forms of text input).
