Controling mouse pointer.

[Mr_Floppy]

Is there a way I can change the pointer (preferably the the hand you see when you move over a link) when I move over an image?

I think you want the CSS "cursor" selector: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/ui.html#propdef-cursor

Yeah you can change to any of the following:

crosshair
default     This changes it to the arrow.
help
move
pointer     This changes it to the hand.
text
wait

You can apply any of these by doing this:

style="cursor:something;"

I never really used events with JavaScript before. How can I do the CSS change when the mouse goes over a certain image?

Erm... <img src="123.png" style="cursor:something;">

Javascript just doesn't enter into it.

Thanks.
