Change mouse pointer to hand
I designed a page with some thumbnail pictures on it. When the user clicks a picture, I open a new browser window in the onclick event to display a larger version of the picture. This works fine.

One problem: when the user moves the mouse over the thumbnail pictures, the mouse pointer remains an arrow. How can I get the mousepointer to change into a hand when the user moves over a thumbnail ?

I tried to work with a href statements, but they make the thumbnail screen scroll.

Use CSS.

the
cursor: pointer;
is the CSS attribute will get you your hand over the object.

Thanks for the tip, it works perfectly. I just added the code below, and voila, the cursor changes to a hand when hovering over the pictures in my photo gallery page.

< style type="text/css">
< !--
img {
cursor: hand;
}
-->
< /style>
