<SELECT><OPTION> tags

13 New Member
I have a drop down on a web page and want to change the cursor from default to pointer, so my style definition has

style ="cursor: pointer;"

the drop down though fails to change from the default curor. I've tryed applying the style to the <select> tag and to the <option> tags to no avail.

It should work. Can we see that part of the markup?

if you want "pointer" why do you have "move"? What browser are you using?

it has a move as I didn't change it back after checking with a different cursor!

IE7 & 6

it looks like it sould work if you use pointer. I don't know why it's not working.

Ran the page using Opera, and the cursor changes to the selected cursor, but uner IE it just shows as the default.
