A much clearer invitation is needed. It seems to me that with ajax, we are remaking all our old mistakes. remember when people started makign links black and killing the underline, how users would struggle to find links by "brailling" over the text? Aren't we expecting that same bad behavior here? We're going to try a few things, like a softly dashed line... I suggest you do too.
