Change this: <b onclick="FP_popUpMsg
to
<b style = "cursor:hand" onclick="FP_popUpMsg

iirc it only works in IE

select the element and get in split view.
as it exists now you've got this:
<b onclick="FP_popUpMsg('Legal Name\r\nYour legal ...

just add a "style" like this:
style="cursor:pointer;"
so you'd wind up with this:
<b style="cursor:pointer;" onclick="FP_popUpMsg('Legal Name\r\nYour legal
....

Eww - barf on both suggestions. An event handler has NO business on a <b>
tag.

The right way to do it would be to change this -

<b onclick="FP_popUpMsg('Legal Name\r\nYour legal ...

to this -

<a href="javascript:;" onclick="FP_popUpMsg('Legal Name\r\nYour legal
....><b>...</b></a>

Then you won't have to force anything to get the right cursor.
 
Thank you, Thank you for all of this help. It helped. The one I used was:
<b style = "cursor:hand" onclick="FP_popUpMsg

You're welcome.
Murray is correct though, in that it's not the "most elegant" solution.
However it works, in most browsers.

Ok I'm hooked.
What makes it "wrong" other than it's an in-line style.??
A style can be applied to any element on a page, correct??

It could be done 3 ways:
Your way.
With a mouse over event swapping the style.
Or using the in-line version.
Do they not all accomplish the same thing??

Click to expand...

Depends on which browser you're using. For cross-browser, it should be
this:

cursor: pointer; cursor: hand;

They must be in that order.

What's wrong is the event handler on the <b> tag. <b> is a presentational
tag. It is not intended for events.
