Mouse pointer and collapsible outlines

[Anita]

I have created a menu on my department's home page using collapsible
outlines, but the users complain that the because mouse pointer is an I-beam
instead of a hand when hovering over an outline item, it doesn't appear to be
a link that they should click.

Is there any way to make the mouse pointer appear as a hand when hovering
over a collapsed outline item?

You will need to do a little hand coding but not much...

In the HTML view look for the first <lo> tag of the list...
(easy way is to highlight the text first then it will be
highlighted in the HTML view)
You will need to add a "Style"

style="cursorointer; cursor:hand"

It will look like this after you change it
(but maybe not exactly)
<ol style="cursorointer; cursor:hand" dynamicoutline initcollapsed>

Hope this helps..

Please don't do it this way. You are going out of your way to make
something work when a simple code correction would do the same thing.

In addition, the FP collapsible outlines are NOT cross-browser compatible,
so you may want to think twice about using them. Luckily, there is a simple
way around this using the tools already provided in FP.

This method solves the problem with FP's collapsible
list code that is NOT FF/NN compatible, and will therefore work in all
browsers.

It uses some CSS, and the FP Change Property behavior.
