Element:focus Selector in Browser

At 7:32, when Guil clicked on the text box, there was a hazy-blue border that surrounded the text box. Is this a browser default, or can it be edited through the CSS code?

I believe it can! If you change the border property of your focus pseudo selector?

input#radio:focus{
border-color: #anycolouryoulike;
}

Thanks Jonathan, that does work for a rectangular control. But if the borders are rounded using the "border-radius" property, the hazy-blue outline will still appear around the box in the form of a rectangle. Google has not been any help, and I am not implementing a form into any webpage, so the question was just out of curiosity.
