onMouseOver - pointer to hand 1

[Slippenos]

Is there any way that, when my pointer is over an image- it changes from the pointer to the hand?

Thanks.

add style="cursor:hand;" as an attribute of the img tag

Apparently "hand" is a non-standard IE option. The correct name is "pointer" (as in a pointing hand, not a pointing arrow). I know it sounds silly, but that's the way it is.

Tracy is correct, use style='cursorointer' instead of hand. Pointer is a cross browser solution and hand works in IE only. It's kinda like .parentElement, why use it when .parentNode is cross browser.

I know I'm not really adding anything to this thread with my reply, but I just spent the last couple days fixing some old code that another colleague had written 2 years ago, and this is one of the things that I had to change multiple times. So, I want to emphasize that you should use cursorointer now so that you don't have to go back and fix it later to make your site cross-browser compatible.

Thanks for the backup kaht. I think you may be the one who pointed that out to ME a few weeks ago (I've been using "hand" for years and never knew that).
