activate handcursor ?

nelk

Hi,

I would like to have a handcursor over my textfield plugin instead of basic mouse icon.

I try to activate it with

Code

handcursor="true"

But It's not working.

BTW, I've set

Code

selectable="false"

I get the same results as you.

handcursor="true"
selectable="false"

= no handcursor

If I change selectable="true" then the cursor changes to look like a capital I... I forget what that's called.

Only time I get the actual "hand" is when it goes over links within the text.

I don't have a solution... but wanted to confirm the issue... as it seems that once you set handcursor to true... it should show up.

General reminder also - you may need to clear your cache between changes... I was switching things back and forth and couldn't get anything to change until I remembered to clear the cache.

I know about the cache

You may use Web developper for Firefox. You can disabled the cache with this wonderful plug-in. Very useful when programming something on the web !

Hi,

to get a handcursor over the textfield plugin - the "children" attribute must be set to "false":

Code

<plugin url="textfield.swf" ... children="false" ... />

with children="false" the sending of mouse events to the sub-objects (childrens) of a plugin is disabled, this is necessary because internally the textfield plugin has a Flash "TextField" subobject which catches the mouse and changes it's cursor,

best regards,
Klaus

Thanks nelk... I use the web developer plugin... and probably have skipped over that option several hundred / thousand times and never realized it was there.

Jetzt mitmachen!
