How to show the 'hand' cursor on thumbnail link?

Hi
I'm a novice user, today is the 3rd time I've even worked in Dreamweaver ..I used to use Frontpage 2000 so this a quite a change for me. <:)
I'm making a simple picture gallery using image thumbnails and wanted the full view images to load in a custom sized windows. I used the 'onclick'  and 'open browser window'  behaviour for each thumbnail and previewed it in IE & Safari. The windows were great, but I noticed the standard arrow pointer appears over the thumbnails even though they are links to full images..so nobody would know they are clickable. : /
Is there some way in Dreamweaver CS4 to have the cursor change to the 'hand' form to indicated this is a link? I'm guessing it might be something to do with an 'on mouseover' trigger on the thumbnail, but I didn't see anything about cursors.
Apologies in advance if I did not explain this in the correct terms or if it's a code issue that can't be addressed in Dreamweaver.
Shelley

Why not use a null link on the thumbnail to attach the behaviour to? and add the return false.
<a href="javascript:;"><img src="FW-gradient-slice.jpg" alt="" name="Image1" width="185" height="176" id="Image1" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('FW-gradient-slice.jpg','','width=600,height=600');return false" /></a>
Select the thumbnail and in the property inspectory, in the link box, type in javascript:; 
Then apply the Open Browser window to the thumbnail as usual.
You may want to look at using David's Smart Link Dreamweaver extension - very easy to use and valid:

You will also need to add the following rule to the stylesheet (or in the head of the document if the style rules are there), to remove the blue border around the images...
a img {border: none;}

  • Please Help!!! How to use the Hand cursor on an Image !!!!

    Hi,
    I am sorry for cross posting but nobody seem to know this, i need this as soon as possible.
    I have a main Jframe which contains a Jpanel which contains a jscrollpane. THe image is in scrollpane and i would like to use the Hand cursor to move the image up and down the jscrollpane.
    Can someone tell me or show me how can i use a hand cursor on an image
    I would appreciate if someone can show me a simple example.
    THanks in advance.

    Well. I would call setCursor with a cursor of type Cursor.HAND_CURSOR or something on the Component where you want the hand. Then you could add a MouseMotionListener to the Component. in mouseDragged() you scroll the scrollpane programmatically according to the MouseEvents getX() and getY().

  • How to avoid the hand cursor on non navigating charts

    I have a requirement from the user to avoid the hand cursor when the charts are non navigating.
    Is there any way to avoid the hand cursor.?
    When we move the mouse over the bar chart, the pointer cursor gets changed to hand cursor. But there is no navigation in the charts that i'm showing.
    The presence of hand cursor in bar charts creates confusion to the end user when there is no navigation in charts.
    It always misleads end users and they ask if the chart is complete or not since there is no navigation.
    So i would like to avoid it, but how can i avoid it.??

  • How to get the 'hand' cursor on an ALV drill down report?

    I have a drill down on PO # going to trans ME23N that is working great.
    But I have noticed on my other drill downs (E.G for billing doc VF03) that when the report is displayed the drill down field value is a) underlined and b) has a 'Hand' appear when you place the cursor over the billing document field.
    This does not happen on my PO # - it is not highlighted with an underscore, nor do you get the small hand  - but it does work when you double click the field.
    The field I am using on the ALV report is RSEG-EBELN.  This is not a KEY field in the table - perhaps that is why it does not have the underscore and the 'hand'.
    Thanks!
    Scott

    Here it is.
    When you build your field cat use the below code.
    DATA : x_fieldcat TYPE slis_fieldcat_alv.
    * Single click on the field will trigger double click event.Also, a hand
    * will appear when the cursor navigates to the field
      X_FIELDCAT-HOTSPOT = 'X'.

  • Show the hand cursor over a simple label

    I have searched for this for a long time but i cant seem to
    find the answer. All I want, is that when the mouse passes over a
    label it changes from the arrow to the hand, like it does with the
    link button component.
    Thx

    Thx for the answer
    Well now i got 2 more questions,
    how come the useHandCursor property wasnt enough
    And where do i find this kind of information, because i have
    plenty more questions, more about style than data, and reference
    book are not out yet.
    Thx again

  • Stopping the Hand Cursor

    Okay, don't ask why I'm publishing to Flash 5, but I am!
    I've got a flyout panel that sometimes comes out over buttons
    or other interactive things. These buttons are clickable "through"
    the flyout panel -- which is a bad thing.
    So I thought I would make an invisible "click catcher" button
    and put it on the lowest layer of the flyout artwork. And it does
    work, except now the entire flyout panel shows the hand cursor over
    the whole area.
    Normally I would Button.useHandCursor=false, but since I"m
    publishing to Flash 5 that isn't an option.
    Also the pages this will appear over are dynamic (and not
    entirely within my control) so I can't make the underneath buttons
    invisible or anything like that.
    Does anybody have any creative ideas?

    Is your browser perhaps caching the old file?
    There's a related FAQ here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2885756#2885756
    And attached is a quick wireframe to illustrate it working on a button.

  • CS3 How to style larger image window that thumbnail links to

    Hi,
    Can anyone advise on how to format the larger image a thumbnail links to? When I click on the link created from the thumbnail, the larger image just comes up tucked in the top left corner. I am creating this gallery manually because I don't have Fireworks, only CS3, which Fireworks didn't come with.
    Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do I show a hand cursor for a text entry box button

    I'm using Captivate 5 and have run into an annoying problem...
    For a general click box, there is an option for "Show hand cursor over hit area" which will result in the cursor changing to a hand when rolling over the click box region in the published presentation.  I want to do the same for the 'submit' button in the text entry box. Is this even possible?  I'm hoping to keep things consistent as a user is clicking through the presentation.
    I find it odd that it doesn't have the same property as found on the clickbox considering it has the same purpose.  I'm using a background screenshot image to simulate an entry in an application, so I'm actualy hiding the submit button, but the button I want them to press lacks the hand cursor that would indicate it is clickable.  I don't want to use a click box to allow the user to move on because I still want a failure in the text entry box to prevent the user from moving on.
    Hope that all makes sense.

    Hi there
    Another approach is to use a Rollover Caption. Just remove any text and configure the caption as transparent. Then layer the Rollover area over the part where you want the hand to change to a cursor. The net effect will be that the cursor change will occur. Clicking will then result in triggering the underlying Submit button, which appers to be invisible and layered over an image.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Forcing the cursor to show the hand with useHandCursor

    Hi,
    I have a button that I disable after a user clicks it, then the button is enabled when the animation is completed.
    I set useHandCursor = false
    after the user clicks the button.
    Then I set useHandCursor = true
    after the movie completes.
    But the hand cursor doesn't display until the user moves the mouse.
    I want the hand cursor to show if the user has left the cursor on the button without them needing to move the mouse.  Is there away to force the hand cursor to show if it is hovering above a button when useHandCursor is set to true?
    Thanks!

    Try using buttonMode instead - works for me without having to move the mouse.
    someButton.buttonMode = false;
    someButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, test);
    function test(e:MouseEvent){
         someButton.buttonMode = true;
    Should do what you want.

  • How to get the current cursor position in word report?

    I am generating a word report. But I would like to keep the table in one page. However, I did not find the way to do it in labview. Somebody would give me some suggestions? I appreciate a lot.
    One way I think I can do is to find the current cursor position. Since I know the table size so I can figure out if the left space in the current page is enough to hold the table. But I do not know how to locate the curent cursor position in word document in labview programmatically. I appreciate any suggestions on this question.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    when you insert data in a word document you have to refer to bookmarks rather than cursor position.
    If you are using the Report Generation Toolkit for Office it is explained in the manual chapter 3-1.
    See also the example: Generate Report From Template (Word).vi included in the toolkit.
    If you aren't using the toolkit, you still have to refer to bookmark as reference points to insert and/or fetch data.
    The principle is:
    - First create a document in which you insert bookmarks where you wish and save it as a template
    - In LV open your template document and insert in it your data referring to bookmarks as insertion points
    - At the end save your report with another name, so you still have the template
    I hope I have been clear enough, if not just as
    k!
    Good luck,
    Alberto

  • How to show the checked-out symbol in list of files in a folder

    Hi,
    When the folder is selected it is showing all the files in that folder. But, the user would not know which file had been checked out. In general it should show the lock symbol (As similar to Documentum, webtop) when a file had been checked out by some other user.
    How to show the lock/key column in list of files. Any other way to find a file had been checked out or not instead of going into the content information.
    Also, how do we add additional columns like author etc... to the list of files screen in UCM?
    Please help

    You should double check, but I don't believe that the check-out info is in the resultset. Because that information isn't available, the state of each row in the search results table cannot be defined. So, the first hurdle would be to add that info to the dataset.
    The second hurdle would be to alter the UI to leverage that info (e.g., the key icon when checked out).
    If you're looking to alter the folder views, then look to the COLLECTION_DISPLAY service & related template. Other views (e.g., search results) have different templates and backing services.

  • How to show the login user Id in the upper right corner of each page?

    Hi,
    I was wondering how to show the login user Id in the upper right corner of each page?
    thanks so much!
    cchu

    Cchu,
    The easy question first: applying a style to the welcome message. If you look at the page source, you'll see that #WELCOME_USER# is expanded to <div class="app-user">Welcome: DEMO</div> So to change the style of the message, you need to tweak the style of the app-user div in your CSS, or override it in a style block in your HTML header.
    Now, the tougher question: why the text is wrapping for you. And, really, without seeing your entire page, I can't give a full answer. But I'd suggest that what's most likely happening is that the table column you're putting it in is too narrow, so it's wrapping; try replacing the td tag with <td nowrap="nowrap"> This will force the column to be wide enough to display the full message, but might result in weird formatting elsewhere on the page (depending on what all is in your table).
