html question

[cubby1223]

Here is a simple sample of what I'm trying to create:

That "button" is a link, and the javascript works with that. But I want the mouse cursor to change indicating it's a link. I've been working with it, and just can't get it right while keeping the layout the same.

Any help?

this.style.cursor='pointer'

If you want to act like a link, then make it a link. All your css can be applied to an anchor tag class, you just need to add a display:block; to it. The reason your vertical align is not working properly is because that property only works on inline elements. So it doesn't work on a div, it does work with a span. I've attached some html that should behave exactly as you desire.

add "cursor: pointer;cursor:hand" to the style properties of the div

Thanks a bunch! 🙂

I was trying to work with the a tag earlier, wasn't getting the proper height & width to the area that the mouse cursor would change in, nor keep the vertical alignment to the text.

I'll give these suggestions a try later when I've got the time. I think I can get it to work now.



EDIT - hadn't occurred to me to use padding to get the height & vertical alignment I wanted inside an a tag. :thumbsup: Works like a charm.
