Hand icon - 7/17/2002 1:49:14
Hi Folks,
Is there a way to establish non-hyperlink text so that when the cursor is over it, the cursor changes into a hand?
I' d like to have this feature on the top item in a collapsible list.
Thanks much!
Jereme

Hi,
Sure is. I think it is called a null link. Just highlight the text in question, then click on hyperlink. Then just leave the http:// .
Now the flip side to the coin is if they click on it they will get a 404 or " page not found" .
<edit>You know it just hit me. I did a little fast research and CSS could also be used. Make a class for the hyperlink. Then when defining the class do it like this...
a.hand:active { color:#ffffff; cursor:hand}
</edit>

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the suggestion. I thought of the " dud" hyperlink, but ran into the problem you described, " page not found" message. This won' t do since users will need to click on the item to see the rest of the list.
How do I make a class for a hyperlink and define the class?
Thanks much,
Jereme

Hi Bobby,
Thanks. The problem is if I link back to the same page, the collapsible list won' t open.
Also, I don' t know very much (as in nothing) about CSS! :(

Right in your html...
<span style=" cursor:pointer" >Insert text here.</span>
Put the <span style=" cursor:pointer" > in front of the text that needs the hand cursor. Then put the </span> right after the text. Anything within the <span></span> will now show the hand icon.

Wow! This brings up another problem! The text that needs the hand cursor is in a shared border on the right side of the page. I can' t for the life of me find it in HTML!! Nor can I find any other text that' s in that border.

I won' t work with Shared Borders, never have and never will. Someone else will need to provide some direction for you in modifying the borders.

Okie Dokie. Thanks for the code. I' ll try to figure out how to get it in to the border.
If you have a lot of pages that you want the same info on (such as navigation links), how do you accomplish this without shared borders?

RE: Hand icon - 7/17/2002 12:00:01
Include pages. Do a search on the forums here and you' ll find plenty of information on Includes. I think there may even be a tutorial floating around somewhere. Includes are a hot topic!
Good luck!

J,
Copy the code offered above and paste it into Notepad or Wordpad, then copy to the clipboard. Open a page with the right border and click in the border, choose Advanced then HTML from the Insert menu. Paste.

OK
It' s a bit botched up right now, since I' m working on this collapsible list, so I don' t want to publish these changes to the actual url. I' ll publish it to another url.
Give me a few minutes....

RE: RE: Hand icon - 7/17/2002 13:20:50
Here' s the url with my current changes in the right hand border:
www.pizola.com
You can see what I' m trying to accomplish. Some words will be hyperlinks, some will be headers to a list of hyperlinks. For example, Paint Sprayers is a hyperlink. Accessories is a header that when clicked on displays a list of hyperlinks. It' s this word " Accessories" that I want the hand cursor for so that users will know that it' s clickable.
The actual site is at www.universalpaintsprayers.com

RE: Hand icon - 7/17/2002 13:28:01
Hmmm, that link works fine for me. Shows a hand/pointer when I hover over it. When clicked, it expands to show the tree. I' m not sure what the question is at this point.
When I click the Accessories link, the tree expands to show three links. When I follow one of those, the tree is still expanded, the Accessories header is no longer linked but shows a hand cursor. This can be confusing to the surfer. I myself was clicking on it hoping to go back to the main Accessories page but that did not happen.

Clear your history and delete all temporary Internet files. It sounds like you may have a cached page that you are viewing. What version of IE are you using?

That' s the problem right there. IE5.5 does not support the " pointer" element according to W3Schools.

RE: RE: Hand icon - 7/17/2002 14:09:55
That did the trick!! Thanks very much!
Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of those bullets. When I go to format/bullets and numbering, and choose no bullets, I lose the collapsibility of the list.
I can figure out most stuff, but when FrontPage doesn' t do what it says it' s suppose to do, it throws me for a loop.
