I've been using Dreamweaver to design a site for the first time and have come across a problem: I have put in popup menus for subcategories in the navigation bar. In I.E., when I move the mouse pointer over these popup menu cells it remains as a hand. However when I do the same thing in Firefox and Netscape, the mouse pointer changes into a sort of text cursor, shaped like an 'I'. If I click on the links they work fine but I would like the pointer to be consistent as it is in I.E.
I hope this gives enough information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Change the style of the cursor for that element { cursor: url; } or look at a CSS reference for other alternatives, you may just want it to be a pointer.

And the term for that text cursor is "I-beam" so you're correct cally it an 'I'.

Cheers,

Thanks MC. I may get back to you if I can't figure that out (I'm very new to the coding side of things; have done pretty much everything so far in design view). Will do my best.

Ok, I give up! Can anyone tell me how to do what MC has suggested above as I'm new to using html?

Thanks in advance.

I think this should do it.

Look for the external JavaScript file "mm_menu.js".

Save the file for backup purposes to somewhere safe.

Open the original file.

Find the following snippet of code ( yours might look slightly different ):

var dTag = '<div id="menuItem'+ countItems +'" style="position:absolute;left:' + itemLeft + 'px;top:'+ itemTop +'px;'+ itemProps +'">';

add "cursor: pointer" like so:

var dTag = '<div id="menuItem'+ countItems +'" style="cursor:pointer; position:absolute;left:' + itemLeft + 'px;top:'+ itemTop +'px;'+ itemProps +'">';

Save the file and try it out.

Thank you so much ElectricSheep. That works perfectly. I really appreciate your help with this.

All the best,
Mark
