Because IE is completely br0ken. In Gecko based browsers (Mozilla,  
Camino, SeaMonkey, Firefox), and other modern UA, as soon as the user  
release the mouse-button, the state is changed to a:focus (that is  
the expected behaviour: the link is not longer 'active' ='being  
clicked').
IE windows remains in the 'active' state, as long as the user doesn't  
click on something else in the page. Not much can be done about this,  
except rewriting the Trident rendering engine.

There might some javascript thingies floating around that forces IE  
to recognise the focus but not active state. I don't know, though.

PS = you should use a more web-friendly/cross-platform-friendly image  
format than .bmp (proprietary Windows), like .png or .gif.
