Microsoft Style Menu

rickman

I'm trying to create a menu like the one on the left hand side of www.microsoft.com and am having trouble. How does one make a table cell an anchor (or similar technique) so the cursor changes to a hand when the mouse is over it? I can get the colors to change but this part is evading my mind. Thanks for your help in advance.

Try this (inside the table)

<table>
<tr>
<td style="cursor:hand">Text inside cell
</td>
</tr>
</table>

or -

(between <head>)
<style>
.cell { cursor:hand; }
</style>
-----(in body)-----
<table>
<tr>
<td class="cell"Text inside cell
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I tried it, and it works fine for me. Hope it's what you need
