As simple as it seems, it's not working on IE7.
<select style=\"cursor:pointer;\">
I want a cursor looking like a HAND (same as when you mouse over a html link)
<span style="cursor:hand;">
works
</span>
<select style="cursor:hand;"><opti
I tried several combinations, none is working. (The "right way" doesn't work either, at least on IE7)
ChoobsTech,
I suspect its IE7. ToastedWeb's code worked for me using both IE6 and Firefox.
If you try the cursors on this page do any of them work with IE7?

Okay. Just wanted to confirm that particular cursor works at all w/IE7.
> ToastedWeb's code worked for me using both IE6 and Firefox.
I have to take that back. I ran another test. The select list cursor does work with Firefox 2, but not for IE6. For IE6 it seems to work only for _other_ elements, not select lists. At least for me anyway. So add my vote to the "I suspect its not supported" column.
Good luck
Ok thnx for the help everyone ;)
I think topic should be closed as it doesn't seem to be possible... I think I'll head for some nice DOM table manipulation to make it look the same :D
I'll distribute points in the following manner:
ToastedWeb 3 posts -->200pts
Rok-Kralj 2 posts --> 150pts
_agx_ 2 posts -->150 pts
Grade will be C as no solution was found. Should you have any complaints, feel free to do so, I'm opened to criticism for next time ;)
ChoobsTech,
I wasn't expecting any points since I only reiterated what was stated by others. But I appreciate your open-mindedness and it was nice of you to want to award points ;)
Personally I don't think a "C" was appropriate here for several reasons
1) You asked about custom cursors on select list. You never asked about "simulating a select list" if custom cursors weren't possible.
2) I suspect the answer you were given was correct: ie what you want to do isn't possible in your environment. Its likely there's not much anyone can do about that :)
So asking asked additional questions, or maybe even asking for the question to be closed so you could re-phrase it would seem more appropriate IMO.
Just my $0.02 ;-)

that is very simple... because the right way is:
<select style="cursor:pointer;"><o
