Change cursor within an area tag

[jt8941]

I am trying to change the cursor when I hover over an item. With an href it does this automatically, however I am using javascript inside of my area tag to open the link in a new window. Any thoughts from anyone?

<a style="cursor: pointer;">blah blah</a>

*cLFlaVA
----------------------------
[tt]tastes great, less filling.[/tt]

That doesn't work inside of the area tag. Here is the code:

<map name="help">
<area shape="rect" coords="574,18,643,34" onClick="javascriptcpHelp()">
<area shape="rect" coords="574,48,643,64" href="

http://xxx.xxx.com/logoff.cfm">

</map>

I have even tried setting the cursor the onMouseOver event but that doesn't work either

Oh, ok, I overlooked that aspect.

Just do this then:

<map name="help">
  <area shape="rect" coords="574,18,643,34" href="#" onClick="javascript:ocpHelp(); return false;">            
  <area shape="rect" coords="574,48,643,64" href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://xxx.xxx.com/logoff.cfm">[/URL]
</map>

*cLFlaVA

[tt]tastes great, less filling.[/tt]

That's it, thanks

k, just don't forget to [tt]return false[/tt] whenever you're using the onclick event for functionality, as I did above.

Surely you should either be putting

[tt]href="javascriptcpHelp()"[/tt]

or

[tt]onclick="ocpHelp()"[/tt]

You don't need, or want, the [tt]javascript:[/tt] bit unless you're writing a URL.
