you know how you mouseover a link it turns into the little hand, well i was wondering if someone knows how to do it so that it doesn't turn into that hand instead it stays like the little normal pointer

I don't really have any idea how to make the cursor not change when it is hovered over a links, but why would you want to do such a thing? :)

There are some more, but you'll have to check http://www.w3c.org because I don't remember them. Don't be surprise if not all (or any) work in all browsers. :D

Don't use all that confusing link class crap, try this:


style="cursor:hand"
style="cursor:crosshair"
style="cursor:help" etc.

just place them in the <a> tag of your link ie:
<a href="help.htm" style="cursor:hand">This link has a "help" cursor</a>

Dont know if this works in Netscape though.........

Well, everyone has said something, so Hime-chan can't keep her mouth shut (her fingers off the keyboard) either.

The classes were just meant for demonstration, and it really depends. I generally put all of my cascading stylesheets into external files, because it keeps my HTML clean.

Paste

<link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="style.css">

between your <head> </head> tags.

Then, make a seperate textfile and name it style.css . Put it up in the same directory. In the file, say:

a { cursor:whatever-you-want; }

and replace whatever-you-want with whatever you want your cursor form to be, the person who wrote the file with the classes example put quite a few nice choices for cursors. I don't konw the standard one from heart because I hardly ever use it.

Hope I could help. =^_^=
