Highlight onfocus of submit image button not working in IE

Highlight onfocus of submit image button not working in IE

I am trying to highlight the selection of a image using a javascript
function but this doesn't seem to have any effect when using IE but works
fine in Chrome. Can someone let me know how to highlight the submit
image(button) in IE?
HTML submit button code:
<input type="submit" onfocus="changeBorder(this);"
onclick="saveDeviceInfo();"
title="Save" alt="Save" value="Save" id="save-button"
style="background-image:
url(btn.png); border: 2px solid rgb(51, 129, 183); background-position:
initial initial;
background-repeat: repeat no-repeat;">
JS function:
function changeBorder(_this){
jQuery(_this).css("border","2px solid #3381b7");
}
