pointer doesnt change on rollover using behaviors
|
|
| namely screened 2006-02-24, 10:15 pm |
| When attaching a behavior to a button, the pointer doesn't change when rolled
over that button like it would change if it were an html link (from and arrow
to a hand). Is there a way to make the pointer change?

| A form button? I dont think the cursor ever changes on those.

No, not a form button, just a regular button (image).

What event are you using? You should be using a parenthetical event, such as
(OnMouseover). This way the <a> tag is added and the event handler is
applied to it rather than the image.

I used OnClick

In case you didn't do it this way, try it:
- Click on the image
- In the Property Inspector LINK box, put java script:; (javascript colon
semi-colon)
- Click on the <a> tag
- Now add the behavior
See if that works better.

| FYI, there are no parenthetical events any more. It's now like this -
<A> onClick, etc....

In case you didn't do it this way, try it:
- Click on the image
- In the Property Inspector LINK box, put java script:; (javascript colon
semi-colon)
- Click on the <a> tag
- Now add the behavior
See if that works better.
Sorry, you lost me on the "click on <a> tag part. Where do I find that? I did
put the java script:; in the link part and then added the behavior but now get a
"javascript is not a registered protocol" error window that opens in the front
while the window I want to open ends up behind the page I have the link on when
it should be opening in front of the page. Also, the pointer did change to a
hand when rolled over the button.

At the bottom of the window that has your page in Dreamweaver is a little
"title bar" that shows the various tags (td table div a, etc). When you
click on the image an <a> should be bold. If not, click on it.

Oh, THAT <a> tag. I did that but I am still getting the "javascript is not a
registered protocol" error message.

Since I posted the statement above, I found a site that opened a smaller
window when a link was clicked on. I looked at the page source and was able to
determine that the link was NOT javascript . Apparently it is possible to open
a smaller window through a straight <a href> link. The question is how do I
make the linked window in the 600 pixel width range without javascript?

You got me. You can open a new browser window by adding target="_blank" to
the <a href>, but as far as I know you can't control the size that way.
