Keeping Cursor As Arrow Over Links 2

[nhoh]

Hi Folks,

So I've seen lots of different javascripts for how to change a cursor from an arrow to something else when over a link but I was wondering if there was a script to keep the arrow as an arrow, I don't want users to know that there is a hidden link. Any ideas?

Cheers.

Nick

<a href=&quot;hiddenlink.html&quot; style=&quot;cursor: default&quot;>This is not a link, just underlined blue text :- )</a>

P.S. Some browsers, such Netscape 4.* and Opera 6.* do not support this style.

Sir,
I would execute in this way:

<a href=&quot;http:\\

http://www.url.com&quot;

style=&quot;cursor:default&quot;>blah</a>


Hope this helps.

Hi Folks,

Thanks for all the help, one other wrinkle to my question. I tried what you both suggested and it works great! Now what if I wanted to do the same thing with an image map. I tried to do the same thing but it didn't seem to work. Any ideas? This is what I've got

<map name=&quot;Map&quot;>
<area shape=&quot;poly&quot; coords=&quot;24,124,39,108,54,124&quot; href=&quot;Compose_Survey_V3a.html&quot;; style=&quot;cursor:default&quot;>
</map>

Cheers,

Nick

Sir,
Try this:

<map name=&quot;Map&quot;>
<a href=&quot;Compose_Survey_V3a.html&quot; style=&quot;cursor:default&quot;><area shape=&quot;poly&quot; coords=&quot;24,124,39,108,54,124&quot;;></a>
</map>

If that doesnt work try this:

<map name=&quot;Map&quot;>
<a href=&quot;#&quot; style=&quot;cursor:default&quot;><area shape=&quot;poly&quot; coords=&quot;24,124,39,108,54,124&quot; href=&quot;Compose_Survey_V3a.html&quot;;></a>
</map>


Hope that helps out!

Hmm no luck with either, I'm using IE6. With the first suggestion

<map name=&quot;Map&quot;>
<a href=&quot;Compose_Survey_V3a.html&quot; style=&quot;cursor:default&quot;><area shape=&quot;poly&quot; coords=&quot;24,124,39,108,54,124&quot;;></a>
</map>

The image map area never became a link.

With the second suggestion

<map name=&quot;Map&quot;>
<a href=&quot;#&quot; style=&quot;cursor:default&quot;><area shape=&quot;poly&quot; coords=&quot;24,124,39,108,54,124&quot; href=&quot;Compose_Survey_V3a.html&quot;;></a>
</map>

The cursor still became a hand :-(

One last idea try doing this:

<style>
A.default {cursor:default}
</style>

<map name=&quot;Map&quot;>
<a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;default&quot;><area shape=&quot;poly&quot; coords=&quot;24,124,39,108,54,124&quot; href=&quot;Compose_Survey_V3a.html&quot;;></a>
</map>

and if that doesnt work try this:

<style>
A.default {cursor:default}
</style>

<map name=&quot;Map&quot;>
<area shape=&quot;poly&quot; coords=&quot;24,124,39,108,54,124&quot; href=&quot;Compose_Survey_V3a.html&quot;; class=&quot;default&quot;>
</map>

I am not too up in up on maps so Im totally guessing, but hey who knows it might just work.

I hope so!
