Q275 Can I create a link without having a hand pointer?

You are here: irt.org | FAQ | JavaScript | Pointer | Q275 [ previous next ]

Only in Internet Explorer 4:

This is some normal text
<a href="apage.html" style="cursor:text;">hyper link text</a>
and some normal text.

You could use the following to test the different type of mouse pointers:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function setPointer() {
    if (document.all)
       document.all("myLink").style.cursor = document.myForm.mySelect.options[document.myForm.mySelect.selectedIndex].text;
}
//--></script>

This is some normal text
<a href="apage.html" id="myLink">hyper link text</a>
and some normal text.

<form NAME="myForm">
<select name="mySelect" onChange="setPointer()">
<option>auto
<option>crosshair
<option>default
<option>hand
<option>move
<option>e-resize
<option>ne-resize
<option>nw-resize
<option>n-resize
<option>se-resize
<option>sw-resize
<option>s-resize
<option>w-resize
<option>text
<option>wait
<option>help
</select>
</form>

The following was submitted by Tom

Define a function that reacts to an onclick event. The function will be called without the pointer changing. In the function, define a new location.

<script language="Javascript"><!--
function NewPage() {
   window.location = "http://www.yahoo.com";
}
//--></script>

<img src=myImage.gif" width="192" height="124" alt="" border="0" onclick="NewPage()">

<p onclick="NewPage()">Click me to go to Yahoo...</p>
