Image instead of the 'alt' attribute

[Miroku]

How can I put an image which follows the arrow when this is on a thing (so with the onmouseover attribute)?

One way is to replace the cursor, so for a link we could do:

<style>
a:hover {
cursor: url("http://pathToSmallImg.gif")
}
</style>

does it work on ImageMaps?

Sort of...

You'd have to set up a cursorChg class and then use the onmouseover event on the area tag to change the class of the image, and use the onmouseout to reset it...


.cChg {
cursor: url("http://pathToSmallImg.gif")
}
...
<img id="mapImg" usemap="#aMap" src=.....>
<map name = "aMap....>
<area shape =..... onmouseover="getElementById('mapImg').className='cChg'" onmouseout="getElementById('mapImg').className='' "...>
...
