Move your cursor to the First Name, and click on it.

How can make the cursor, mouse, change to a hand?????

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="cursorointer;"
so you'd wind up with this:
<b style="cursorointer;" 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

[Murray]

Please don't. It's wrong to do it that way.

 

[Steve Easton]

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??

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

cursor: pointer; cursor: hand;

They must be in that order.

Use the "onclick" event. You're using "on mouse over" to make that "alert"
box come up.

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

 

[Murray]

Try validating the page with that event on the <b> tag.
