Well, yeah, changing the cursor is "<i>client-side</i>" stuff, and
the simplest you could get was to set it in css as people told before. <br>
<br>
What was said about "<i>server-side</i>" was to include the "<i>IP-based</i>"
redirection on the server, not the "cursor-style" handling.<br>
<br>
Case closed?<br>

In a manner of speaking I can force this issue. Thanks for the help.
What's being aimed for is if someone from Accounting clicks the link, we
want to send them to the link, but designed for the bean counters, same
with HR etc. I know who they are based on IP due to the way IPs are
doled out on the network, each department's DHCP server has a range of
addresses (10.x.x.x) it can dole out. The decision is pretty easy, No
concern about someone viewing source or trying to spoof us, if someone
in HR gets to the accounting page, no one cares, just they will want to
get to the right page eventually and the idea here is to make it easy
for them. It is a sort of departmental bulletin board but not part of
Exchange/Outlook meetings. Replace the old corkboard by the water
fountain on each floor so to speak.

Subject: Re: [Javascript] Anotherbeginner's question
I suggest that you DO use <a> tags, with their href set to
the default location. Then you still
have functional links without javascript (yeah, I know.. who
uses a browser without javascript)
Another benefit is that you can style your links using CSS
(a {style} a:hover {cursor:
pointer;})
Rather than using onmouseover/out, you could reassign the
href(s) once the document is loaded -
after all, the user is not likely to change their IP address
while moving around your page.
If this change in approach is going to upset your "regular
JavaScript guy" then you should
probably stick with the approved plan.
