Thanks for Brians' good suggestion.
Hi Aussie,
As Brians has suggested, you can use the "cursor" css style to customize
the mouse curor of your html element.
BTW, how do you resolve your first question? Would you also provide us your
DataList item template? There are several different solutions on this
according to the html template of your datalist control. Here is a simple
DataList whicn use an html <tableto display data item in Item template.
And I use table's "onclick" script event to redirect the page, also for
html <table>, we can use the "title" attribute to display a "tooltip" when
the user hover the curor over the html table:
=============================
<asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" DataKeyField="CategoryID"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
<ItemTemplate>
<table
onclick="javascript
:window.location.href='detailin fo.aspx?cid=<%#Eval("Categ
oryID") %>';"
style="cursor:pointer"
title="Click to view detailed information..."
>
<tr>
<td>
CategoryID:
<asp:Label ID="CategoryIDLabel"
runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("CategoryID") %>'>
</asp:Label><br />
CategoryName:
<asp:Label ID="CategoryNameLabel"
runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("CategoryName") %>'>
</asp:Label><br />
Description:
<asp:Label ID="DescriptionLabel"
runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Description") %>'>
</asp:Label><br />
<br />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

Hope this helps also.
