Here's one for you. OK, we are all in agreement that its not a good idea to change the default cursor.
But even Krug's "Don't Make Me Think" has a pointer (the finger cursor) hovering over a button on the front cover of his book - yet in IE and Firefox buttons have the cursor. Personally I think that all buttons should have pointers, the same as hyperlinks. I always apply "cursor:pointer" to my buttons - partly because my boss tells me too, but I also agree with him (and Krug, it seems) that it helps usability. Who disagrees?

OK, I have now changed the "text marker" cursor on my own system, much easier to see it now :-) /anders ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
