Firefox and Javascript

bill1one · Jan 12, 2006

I have the following code that Firefox does not recognize:

l.style.cursor = "hand";

In iExplorer, it works fine, but Firefox doesn't like the hand. I've tried switching "hand" to "pointer" and it still doesn't like it.

Any suggestions. I've noticed that Firefox doesn't like a lot of my scripts. Any resources on js for firefox.

This works for me:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
	"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
	"[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">[/URL]
<html>
    <head>
        <title>test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
	<p onmouseover="[COLOR=red]this.style.cursor='pointer';[/color]">foo</p>
	</body>
</html>

Either l (as in l.style.cursor) isn't a valid FireFox object, or there's something stopping the script running in FireFox before it reaches this statement.

Firefox's JavaScript Console is a great tool: click 'Tools'>'JavaScript Console'.
