Mozilla and this.style.cursor='hand'

[Gregg Bolinger]

Is there a way to get this to work in Mozilla that I don't know about? Or is it just not working in my Mozilla?

Ok, this is nice what I just found out. Appreantly, "hand" appears nowhere in the W3C specs for CSS2. Instead, they use "pointer" which indicates, the mouse pointer as appears over a link. Which is a hand.
So, in your style or whatever you are using to do this you have to do
"this.style.cursor = 'pointer';this.style.cursor='hand'"
Note that pointer has to be defined before hand because Netscape/Mozilla will see the 'hand' first and skip 'pointer' if you decare it that way. IE sees both.
I guess a big thankyou should be extended to M$ once again for not adhering to standards and making up their own.

Microsoft doesn't need to follow standards; they just declare themselves the new standard. Come on -- get with the program!

It really wouldn't be a big deal if they had added 'hand' to thier own version of CSS. But what me off the most is that they completely ignor specs in CSS. I mean, they completely ignor the 'pointer' attribute. As if it isn't even there. -ing Microsux!
