Hey, simple question, simple code - Is the cursor: pointer property broken in Opera?

CSS:



#nav a:hover{
cursor:pointer;
}


Works for Firefox and even IE! Not Opera though, is this a known bug or what? I also tried cursor: hand; with no success.

Any ideas?

It should work. The fact that you're setting a pointer cursor on an anchor in the first place seems suspect though. Whatever is preventing the hand cursor from showing up for links is probably the culprit.

It's because I'm using the onclick event, and no href so I need to add the pointer to show it's a link.

Before you say... The reason I've not done "href: javascript:function()"; is because when the user clicks on links like this it leaves a dotted border around the button, which I'm guessing is for accessibility, but the link is on the same page and so that's why I'm using onclick.

You can disable the dotted border with "outline:none;".
