Odd cursor over menu items

Jul 16, 2012 8:21 AM

Categories: Content Management and Modules, How to - HTML/CSS/JavaScript, General Discussion

This is a really weird problem, but for some reason when I mouse over a menu item for this website, the cursor is either stays as an arrow or a text select, instead of a little pointing hand.  I've never seen this on any of my other BC sites.  Can anyone help me understand why that's happening?  The URL is http://kaoud.businesscatalyst.com.

 

Thanks!

    On line 52 of your styles.css

     

    Add this to your rules:

     

    cursor: auto;

    Hi bluefishy3,

     

    your "links" are technically no links. You have no a-tag defined. It works as a link because you have inline javascript in there:

     

    <td height="1" width="39" valign="top" style="background: url(&quot;/images/nav_home_over.jpg&quot;) no-repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" selcss="nav_selected" selimg="/images/nav_home_over.jpg" onclick="document.location='/index.htm';" id="nav" class="nav_selected" title=""><img height="1" border="0" width="39" alt="" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystImages/1x1.gif"></td>

     

    should be roughly something like this to get the pointer cursor working.

    <td height="1" width="39" valign="top"><a style="background: url(&quot;/images/nav_home_over.jpg&quot;) no-repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" selcss="nav_selected" selimg="/images/nav_home_over.jpg" href="index.htm" id="nav" class="nav_selected" title=""><img height="1" border="0" width="39" alt="" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystImages/1x1.gif"></a></td>

    Thank you Nicole, I'm just a little confused.  I'm not sure exactly where this code actually is, and how to edit it.  Is this the source code for the menu?

    Exactly, however are you using a dynamic menu? Is is set to default? If so, I don't wanna make it more complicated than it has to be. Brads answer above is correct, only I would add

    cursor: pointer; to your .nav selector on line 39 in your style.css (http://kaoud.businesscatalyst.com/stylesheets/style.css:

     

    (line 39)

    .nav {

        ...

        cursor: pointer;


    }
