Link not showing hand icon when mouse over

Question

I am creating an image gallery and have thumbnails that open
in a separate window to a larger version of the image.
The links are working, but when you put the mouse over the
image the little hand does not appear to show it is a link, if you
click it works and the image opens, but the hand does not show,
what have I done wrong.

Answer 1

This implies that you have applied the behavior directly to
the <img> tag,
when you should have applied it to an anchor tag surrounding
the <img> tag,
e.g.,
this - <a href="javascript:;"
onclick="whatever"><img src="whatever"...></a>
rather than this - <img onclick="whatever"
src="whatever"...>
You can get this by manually creating it, or by selecting the
image,
removing the behavior, then entering "javascript:;" (without
the quotes) in
the Link field of the Property inspector. This will wrap the
<img> tag with
the anchor. Now select the <a> on the Tag selector, and
apply your
behavior.
As you can see, familiarity with HTML (and CSS) will come in
quite handy
