[thelist] turn the cursor into an arrow on an <area> with an href

[Joe Crawford]

Okay - tough one.

I have an imagemap with some dynamic menus - like this:

<img map="#foo">

<map name="foo">
<area
	coords="0,0,100,100"
	shape="rect"
	href="etc.html"
	onmouseover="showMySpecialMenu('nav_etc')"
	onclick="return false;">
</map>

What I want to do is to have the cursor *not* turn into a hand on the
link. How do I approach turning the cursor into an arrow? I tried
including a style attribute to the <area> tag, and tried creating a
function like this:

I also tried style="cursor: nw-resize" as the <area>.

function showArrow() {
	if(document.getElementById){
	document.style.cursor = 'nw-resize';
	}
}

then putting that in the onmouseover. I don't like having an <area> not
be a link  - but I just want to know how I'd do it. 

The tutorials on the web all address how to manipulate the cursor with
simple styles - but none cover imagemaps, or doing it selectively.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks!
