Javascript Hyperlink in OWC11 spreadsheet

[Nhut Minh Tran]

I'm working on a web application for my company, and part of it includes a
OWC spreadsheet. In the cells in one column, I want to add a hyperlink that,
when clicked, calls a javascript function. Therefore, in the Office XMl, Id
do the following:

<ss:Cell ss:HRef="javascript:alert('Link to javascript');">;
<ssata ss:Type="String">Launch Documents</ssata>
</ss:Cell>

However, when I click on it, IE complains that it is "Unable to navigate to
javascript:javascript:alert('Link to javascript');"

Any ideas if what I'm trying to do is possible, and how I might do it?

The hyperlink parameter takes a hyperlink, it doesn't allow for script
execution. You may want to catch the click event, and fire some client scrip
before navigating to the web page. Have a look at the eventing model for the
OWC.

Many thanks for your advice. I have written a 'Click' event script. It is OK,
but I have no way to change cursor to 'hand' style when mouse is over a cell.
Please help me.
