Iterarator for hash table.

Question

im having problems implementing an iterator for a hash table. I have an int value called pointer, which would move down the table. when i try to call next() it returns the very first element at index 0 in the hash table. then it moves until it finds a next element and returns it. The problem is that the cursor should be at an element position when i call next() and not at index 0 which is null.
public class myIterator implements Iterator
          public int pointer;
          public myIterator()
               pointer = 0;
               while(hasNext() && table[pointer] != null)
                    pointer++;
public boolean hasNext()
               //System.out.println(cursor);
                    //System.out.println(table.length);
                    /*if(cursor > table.length-1)
                         return false;
                    return true;
                         if(cursor >= table.length)
                         return false;
                    return true;
          * This method returns the next element, if any.
          * @return the next element.
          public Object next()
               Object temp = null;
               if(!hasNext())
throw new NoSuchElementException();
               else
                    System.out.println("cursor " + cursor);
                    temp = table[cursor];
                    cursor++;
                    if(hasNext())
                         while(table[cursor] == null)
                              cursor++;
                    return temp;
          }

You haven't even provided something with valid syntax - where is this "cursor" variable defined? And in one method you are using and incrementing something called "pointer", and somewhere else "cursor", so maybe you're mixing two different variables but trying to use them for the same purpose and they are out of sync.
